Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad with Green Goddess Dressing

Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad with Green Goddess Dressing

Ingredients:

For the salad:

  • 4 medium-sized beets (red or golden)
  • 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts (or pecans)
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, thyme, or dill work well)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the LIVWELL Green Goddess Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup LIVWELL Green Goddess Dressing 
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil (if needed to adjust consistency)
  • Juice of 1 lemon (for a bright finish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Roast the Beets:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Wash and peel the beets, then wrap them in aluminum foil. Place them on a baking sheet.
    • Roast for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, until tender when pierced with a fork.
    • Once done, allow them to cool slightly, then slice them into thin rounds or wedges.

  2. Assemble the Salad:

    • In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens.
    • Arrange the sliced roasted beets, avocado slices, crumbled goat cheese, and red onion (if using) on top of the greens.
    • Sprinkle toasted walnuts or pecans over the salad for some crunch.

  3. Make the Green Goddess Dressing:

    • If you're using store-bought LIVWELL Green Goddess Dressing, you can skip this step. If you're adjusting the consistency or flavor, mix the dressing with a little extra olive oil and lemon juice to your preference.
    • Taste the dressing and add salt and pepper if necessary.

  4. Serve:

    • Drizzle the LIVWELL Green Goddess Dressing generously over the salad.
    • Toss the salad gently to combine the flavors, or serve with the dressing on the side.
    • Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or dill for added freshness and color.

Optional Additions:

  • You can add hard-boiled eggs for a more hearty option like a Cobb salad.
  • Add some crispy bacon bits if you like a smoky flavor.
  • For extra protein, grilled chicken or chickpeas can also be tossed in.

This salad is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully complements the creamy richness of the Green Goddess dressing, paired with the earthy sweetness of roasted beets and tangy goat cheese. Enjoy!
