Creamy Balsamic Dressing
- Combine all ingredients in a jar with lid, shake vigorously. Ready to serve.
Salad
- Begin by peeling your beet(s) and slicing thin. I use a potato peeler.
- Drizzle with olive oil and salt and roast at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes or until soft and crispy.
- While the beets are roasting, combine your salad greens and top with onions and goat cheese.
- Top the salad with your amazing toppings and drizzle with dressing.Enjoy!
Notes
If you are out of time or unable to marinate onions, I would try raw red onions.
This meal would also be great without meat or a variety of other protein options (shrimp, tuna, chicken, leftover pork chop, etc.)
