Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 3 peeled and quartered medium beets with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 35-40 minutes until tender and caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  2. Step 2: While beets roast, peel and segment 1 large orange and 1 medium grapefruit, removing all pith and membranes. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tsp rose water, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp lemon juice to make the dressing.
  4. Step 4: In a large bowl, combine 4 cups mixed greens, roasted beets (cooled slightly), orange and grapefruit segments, 3 oz crumbled goat cheese, and 1/4 cup toasted walnuts.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle the rose water dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately for a fresh, fragrant starter or side.
