All beetroot enthusiasts express joy! This is the perfect beet salad: creamy goat cheese (below feta if you favor it), baked beetroots, and avocado. The trick is that instead of buying precooked beetroots, you just wrap them in aluminum foil and bake them like a baked potato. It takes an hour however the resulting beets will be tender, earthy, and somewhat sweet in such a way that no store-bought beetroot can.
If you wish to go above and beyond, we additionally advise toasting your walnuts. This will certainly include another layer of nutty flavor that can amp up this salad. We like arugula for its peppery bite, however, feel free to exchange it for whatever salad green you such as.
