Sweet roasted golden beets are the star of the show in this hearty salad.
Salads are an excellent way to incorporate more veggies into your diet. We love salads, and are advocates for making your own salad dressings. Yet as the weather turns cooler, a crispy cool salad doesn’t always hit the spot. We start to crave hot, filling dinners to warm us up. If you’re looking to include more vegetables into your diet while satisfying that yearning for a hot meal, our Roasted Golden Beet Salad is sure to be a winner.
This vibrant salad is both filling and nutrient-packed. Sweet roasted golden beets, carrots, and Brussels sprouts are tossed with nutrient-rich kale and spinach. Finished off with crumbled goat cheese, sunflower seeds, and a Dijon dressing, this fully-loaded salad is also fibre-rich and hearty.
