I tried a similar salad at cheesecake factory this weekend and instantly wanted to create it at home. I found this recipe on the web, made a few modifications and think it's a great place to start! Ingredients:
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
2 tablespoons coarse grain mustard |
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
1 garlic clove, minced |
salt, to taste |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
4 cups baby greens |
3 roasted beets, diced |
1/2 cup chopped pecans, glazed |
1 granny smith apples, peeled and diced |
2 ounces goat cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Scrub beets and cut the greens off.
3. Rub with a little oil (canola or olive), wrap in foil, and bake for about an hour (until a knife slides in easily).
4. Allow to cool and the cut off tops and bottoms, slide off the skins, and dice.
5. While cooling, prepare the dressing by whisking all of the ingredients until well blended.
6. Place salad greens on a salad platter.
7. Top with beets, walnuts and diced apple.
8. Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and drizzle the dressing over all.
