Instructions
Creating this delicious Beets Salad is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a perfect dish:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Beets: Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly. Trim off the greens and roots. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place them on a baking tray.
3. Roast Beets: Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for 45-60 minutes. They’re done when a fork easily pierces them.
4. Cool Beets: Once cooked, remove the beets from the oven and let them cool for about 10-15 minutes. Carefully peel off the skins using your hands or a paper towel.
5. Slice Beets: Cut the beets into wedges or cubes, depending on your preference.
6. Mix Greens: In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens.
7. Add Beets: Layer the sliced beets on top of the greens.
8. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled cheese, chopped nuts, and diced red onion over the salad.
9. Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
10. Dress Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.
11. Garnish: Optionally, add sliced avocado and fresh herbs for additional flavor and visual appeal.
With these straightforward steps, you have a delightful Beets Salad to serve to family and friends!
