Ingredients

• 2 Green apples
• 2 medium Beets
• 4 cups Arugula
• 1 cup Goat cheese
• 1 cup Walnuts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the beets thoroughly, wrap them individually in aluminum foil, and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 35–40 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 3

Once the beets are done, let them cool for 10 minutes. Peel off their skins (they should come off easily) and slice them into thin wedges or rounds.

Step 4

While the beets are roasting, core and thinly slice the green apples. You can leave the skin on for added texture and color.

Step 5

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, roasted beets, green apple slices, and toasted walnuts.

Step 8

Crumble the goat cheese over the top of the salad.

Step 9

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant Green Apple and Beet Salad!
