Looking for other beet salad variations to try? Try this crispy beet salad and roasted beet and kale salad! And while some of us turn to salads for a healthy meal option, it’s really an added bonus to how tasty it is. That said, this salad boasts 12g of protein per serving, plus more than 15% of your daily vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron, and fiber! Nutrition powerhouse. You’ll be amazed at how healthy a fancy beet salad can be! For the salad:
Beets: You can use small beets for this recipe or larger beets cut in quarters. It’s your choice if you want to peel them or not — there’s no harm in eating the peel, and it’s loaded with nutrients! Shallots: Unlike other onions which can be quite sharp, shallots have a delicate flavor. You’ll roast the shallots with the beets to bring out a wonderful sweetness. Olive Oil: This will be used to coat the beets and shallots before roasting in the oven. Pistachios: Part of the cashew family, pistachios are a slightly sweet nut that you’ll ground up to make into pistachio “dust”. This will be used to coat the outside of your goat cheese balls, offering a beautiful crunchy-creamy texture to the salad. Goat cheese: You’ll need ½ cup of creamy goat cheese to form into bite-sized balls. Rolling the goat cheese in ground pistachios takes this salad over the top! Arugula: Also called rocket, arugula will make up the base of your salad. It has a peppery flavor and hearty texture that makes this the perfect lettuce for the job.
For the maple balsamic dressing:
Olive oil & apple cider vinegar: This will make up the oil and vinegar base of the salad dressing, so use equal parts of each ingredient. Maple syrup: Mmm, maple syrup! The distinct maple flavor pairs so well with the earthy beets and sharp goat cheese in the salad. Add 1 tablespoon or a bit more if you prefer a sweeter, more distinctly maple dressing. Dijon mustard: The strong taste of dijon mustard gives this vinaigrette a nice zip. Just a teaspoon will do! Salt & pepper: Season your dressing to your liking.
