Perfect for a light lunch or a side at dinner, this hearty salad packs a nutritional punch with antioxidant-rich beets and greens, as well as heart-healthy fats in the nuts and olive oil.
4 cups arugula or mixed greens
2 whole beets, peeled and cubed
½ cup walnuts or pecans
2 oz goat cheese
Balsamic vinegar
Olive oil
Toss beets in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Roast at 400°F until tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook walnuts in a lightly oiled (or use cooking spray) skillet at medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Spread arugula evenly on four plates. Evenly divide all other ingredients on top of the arugula and top with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Enjoy!
Serves 4.
