INGREDIENTS

Roasted Beets

• 5 large cooked beets (a mix of red & yellow looks gorgeous)

Whipped Goat Cheese

• 1 large log plain goat cheese
• ½ tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• ½ tbsp lemon zest
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp of Eversio Wellness 4 Mushroom Blend

Salad Base

• 1 cup arugula
• Balsamic glaze or a simple olive oil & vinegar dressing

Toppings (get creative!)

• Toasted sesame seeds
• Honey & balsamic drizzle
• Goat feta (or swap for burrata or fresh ricotta)
• Fresh sprouts
• Edible flowers

DIRECTIONS

Step 1: Roast Your Beets

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Wash your beets thoroughly, wrap each one individually in foil, and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 75 minutes—you’ll know they’re done when a fork slides in easily.

Let them cool slightly, then peel off the skins by rubbing gently with your hands or a paper towel. Slice into cubes or wedges and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Whipped Goat Cheese

In a mixing bowl, combine your goat cheese, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and sea salt. Using a handheld mixer or food processor, whip until ultra-creamy and smooth—about 3 to 4 minutes.

Spread the whipped goat cheese across your serving plate or shallow bowl, using the back of a spoon to create a swoosh effect.

Step 3: Assemble the Salad

Toss the arugula lightly with balsamic glaze or a mixture of olive oil and vinegar. Season with a pinch of sea salt. Pile it in the center of the whipped goat cheese base.

Now scatter your roasted beets over the top. Drizzle with a touch of honey and a little extra balsamic glaze for that sweet-savory balance.

Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches

Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, dollop on some goat feta, burrata, or ricotta, and tuck in a few sprouts. If you have edible flowers, this is their time to shine.

Serving Ideas

Serve it as a centerpiece salad, accompanied by fresh, crusty bread, seeded crackers, or enjoy it as is with a glass of chilled rosé.

Whether you're hosting a brunch or need a dish to impress, this beet & goat cheese salad brings elegance and flavor in every bite.

Pro tip: Make the whipped goat cheese a day ahead to save time and allow the flavours to deepen.

Let this salad be your go-to when you want something light, lovely, and utterly irresistible.
