- 1
If you didn't buy precooked beets roast them at 425 for about an hour wrapped in aluminum foil. Cool then peel and slice
- 2
In a small mason jar pour lemon juice, oil and vinegar, close tightly and put aside
- 3
Put your greens in a large bowl, shake the jar with dressing vigorously until combined. Pour over greens and toss to coat
- 4
Cut figs in quarters
- 5
If using goat cheese I like to put it in the freezer for 10minutes, it's easier to crumble.
- 6
To the bowl with greens add sliced beets and quartered figs. Toss lightly. Sprinkle with pecans and crumbled goat or feta cheese. This salad is great as a side dish for grilled chicken or other protein of your choice. Enjoy!

Beet Salad Beet Salad
This beet salad is a very different (read: healthier ;) ) version of the beet salad I knew growing up in Newfoundland. It takes a bit of time in terms of prepping your ingredients (mainly the beets and carrots), but it's worth it.This is a great summer salad to serve with a BBQ, or on its own as a lunch. You can adjust the ingredient amounts for lesser portions- this salad serves approximately 6-10 servings if used as a side dish.

Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad
Roasted beet and goat cheese salad is a pretty standard salad these days for which you can find hundreds of recipe variants. This is just how I make my own. Many recipes call for walnuts, but you won't find them in my version as I'm not a fan of nuts in salads. Making a balsamic vinaigrette really enhances the sweetness of the beets and brightens the flavors of the salad all around.

I love this salad, for although you may have it year round, it looks more apt in the fall due to the beautiful colors of beets and carrots, like autumn leaves.

Great healthy salad. Red beets have all the necessary antioxidants and betaine which are very good for your immune system. The combination with chickpeas tastes great! Add feta or any other type of cheese as an extra :-)
