Roasted Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Citrus Dressing

I discovered how much I enjoyed the combination of beets and goat cheese during my last visit to The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival last year. While that experience inspired this salad recipe, I knew it could be better. Using roasted beets rather than marinated beets turned out to be the primary recipe modification I was looking for, and this Roasted Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Citrus Dressing was born.

I absolutely love this combination of roasted beets, goat cheese and walnuts. Not only are they so colorful together and healthy, but also very quick and easy to prepare. I roast the beets ahead of time and keep them in the refrigerator until I’m ready to prepare my salad. By doing this on a regular basis, I find myself adding them to my lunch salads quite frequently also. Beets, so pretty on the plate and healthy too. Quite a win-win, don’t you think?
