Ingredients

  • 2 medium beets (peeled and cut into wedges)

  • 1 ripe avocado (sliced)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

  • Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Toss the beet wedges in olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Roast the beets in the oven for about 30–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re tender and slightly caramelized.
  • While the beets are roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Once the beets are done, let them cool slightly before assembling the salad.
  • In a large bowl, combine the roasted beets and avocado slices.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and optional crumbled feta or goat cheese.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can add other toppings like nuts or seeds for added crunch.
  • If you prefer, you can use roasted sweet potatoes instead of beets for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • This salad can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference.

You can make it with whatever’s in the fridge and still end up with something satisfying and wholesome. It’s light but filling, thanks to crunchy veggies and leafy greens.
