Roasted Beet, Peach, and Goat Cheese Salad

Get ready to savor different degrees of sweetness and subtlety with this Roasted Beet, Peach, and Goat Cheese Salad!

Roasted Beet, Peach, and Goat Cheese Salad

If you need something to brighten up your day, and you’ve got some time to spare, then why not try making this Roasted Beet, Peach, and Goat Cheese Salad? Not only will you get a vibrant and healthy dish, but you’ll be able to enjoy varying levels of sweetness — that’s hard to resist!

Beets are typically known for tasting bitter — or even dirty — but hold up! Washing and preparing beets the proper way brings out their earthy, floral, and slightly sweet flavors. Caramelizing these beets can make this sweetness more pronounced, making them a great partner for the next ingredient: fresh peaches!

These juicy, delicate fruits have zero fat content and possess only a small amount of calories, making them perfect for a healthy helping of salad. The fresh baby arugula serves as a delightful backdrop alongside the distinct tartness of crumbled goat cheese.

Adding some chopped pistachio nuts will amp up the flavor — but not the saltiness! In fact, pistachios aren’t naturally salty, and mature nuts will actually have a sweeter flavor profile. Enhancing the sweet but nutty undertones is walnut oil, which serves as a delectable companion not only to the pistachio, but also the goat cheese and baby arugula. Of course, it’s not a salad without a dash of balsamic vinegar since it brings all the ingredients together and makes them more fully rounded.

Making Roasted Beet, Peach, and Goat Cheese Salad takes about two hours and 40 minutes, but like they say, you can’t rush art — and certainly not this salad! You might want to make an extra batch because you’ll surely go back for seconds!
