  • Arrange the beets on the baking sheet and roast for 45-50 minutes until tender.
  • Let the beets cool for about 10 minutes before peeling.
  • Core and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples, tossing slices in a little lemon juice.
  • In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, sliced red onion, and toasted walnuts.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and extra virgin olive oil.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the cooled beets, apple slices, and mixed greens. Gently toss to combine.
  • Transfer to a platter or individual plates and garnish with fresh herbs or crumbled goat cheese, if desired.

Notes

Store leftover salad in an airtight container for 3-4 days, keeping dressing separate. Roasted beets can be frozen for up to 3 months.
