Making the Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad is easy when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Beets: Wash and trim the beets. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil.
3. Roast the Beets: Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces them.
4. Cool the Beets: Once roasted, remove the beets from the oven. Allow them to cool for about 5-10 minutes before unwrapping. Peel the skin off using your hands or a paper towel.
5. Slice the Beets: Cut the peeled beets into wedges or slices.
6. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
7. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens and red onion. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to coat.
8. Add Beets and Cheese: Top the salad with the roasted beet slices and crumbled goat cheese. Sprinkle toasted walnuts on top for added crunch.
9. Serve Immediately: Toss everything gently just before serving to combine flavors.

Each of these steps ensures you create a beautiful and flavorful salad that’s worthy of any table!
