Beet Salad Recipe

Ingredients:
3 fresh beets, trimmed, rinsed, cut into quarters
Salad greens
Sliced and peeled cucumbers
Chicken breast, butterflied, boneless, skinless
Garlic powder
salt
1 cup chopped walnuts,
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. Ground cinnamon
cup of goat cheese crumbles
Olive oil

Balsamic Dressing
2 Tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar, I use Mias Kitchen
cup olive oil
cup orange juice
tsp. Dried basil
Pinch of salt

Directions:
Preheat oven 425 degrees F.
Take the beets that have been trimmed, rinsed and cut into quarters and place them on a foil lined baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the beets and rub it in. Loosely wrap the foil around the beets and bake for 45 minutes. Test for doneness with a fork. Cook longer if needed.

When the beets are fork tender take them out of the oven to cool. Once cool you can peel the outer skin and chop into chunks.

In a small fry pan over medium high heat, add the walnuts to the pan. Combine the sugar and cinnamon before adding to the walnuts. Stir frequently so the sugar doesnt burn. Once the sugar become liquefied and coats the walnuts, pour onto a parchment lined cookie sheet to cool.

Now for the dressing. Mix the following in a small mason jar: the olive oil, balsamic vinegar,
Orange juice, dried basil and salt. Put the lid on the jar and shake to combine. Store in the refrigerator to cool.

The last thing to do is grill the chicken. Preheat your pan over medium high heat. Rub olive oil over both sides of the chicken breast. Add salt and garlic powder. Place on the grill pan and grill for about 7 minutes on the first side and then flip over. You are looking for an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Slice the chicken into strips.

To serve up the salad, mix the greens, beets and cucumbers in a bowl with the dressing. Place some salad onto a plate and top with the walnuts, the chicken strips and then top with a sprinkle of goat cheese crumbles. You can drizzle more dressing over the chicken if you wish.

Enjoy!
