Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 6 Small-Medium Red Beets, scrubbed, peeled, and sliced into wedges
- 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 5 oz. Package Salad Greens, (I love arugula, spring mix, or spinach)
- 1 Avocado, pitted, flesh scooped from skin, and thinly sliced
- 1 Small Red Onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ Cup Shelled Pumpkin Seeds*
- ¼ Cup Crumbled Goat Cheese*
For the vinaigrette:
- ½ Orange, juiced (about 2 Tbsp)
- 1 Lemon, juiced (about 2 Tbsp)
- 1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 6 Tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400º.
-
On a small baking sheet, toss the red beets with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until tender. Let cool completely.
-
Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette by combining the orange juice, lemon juice, Dijon, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake very well to combine. Set aside.
-
Toss your salad greens with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette until well coated. Lay them out on a platter and arrange the cooled red beets, avocado, red onion, pumpkin seeds, and goat cheese over top. Drizzle lightly with more vinaigrette and serve.
