Summer Beet Salad

Servings: 4
Author: Lorie Yarro

Ingredients

Salad

  • 2 medium beets
  • 3 T toasted pecans raw will work too
  • 2 T dried cranberries sweetened with juice is best to avoid sugar
  • 5-7 ounces spring mix leaves
  • goat cheese optional

Dressing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Wrap beets in foil and bake for 1- 1 ½ hours, until soft.
  • After beets cool, remove peel from beets. It should come off could easily.
  • Cut beets into 1 inch pieces.
  • In a large salad bowl, add salad ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients.
  • Pour about ½ of the dressing over salad and toss well to coat greens and salad ingredients. This will give a very light touch of the dressing to the salad without it being to oily. If you want more, add to your liking.
  • Garnish with goat cheese if desired.

Notes

I added some diced red onion to this as well the second time I made it and loved that as well!
