This Roasted Beet Salad Recipe has only ten ingredients and SO much flavor! This just may be your new favorite salad.
Rather than chopping ingredients for a salad each night, prep 1 large salad at the beginning of the week. Then simply dish it up as a side salad for dinners or scoop some out for a quick lunch. Many of our meal plans provide a salad recipe, this one is pulled from our Winter 1 Plan.
A balsamic roasted beet & shaved fennel salad is one of my favorite winter salads. On your prep day, you’ll need to roast your beets & thinly slice your fennel. The rest is simply assembling your salad. This salad keeps for 3-5 days. I’ll wait and add in the goat cheese at dinnertime if I know the salad is going to be around much longer than 3 days.
