Roasted Beet and Herbed Goat Cheese Salad with Salted Caramel Almonds
Roasted Beet and Herbed Goat Cheese Salad with Salted Caramel Almonds. November 2, 2023.
I have got a yummy salad for your holidays today! This is another salad packed with flavor and color. It features one of my favorite salad ingredients: roasted beets. Roasted beets pair well with goat cheese, so goat cheese was included. And I decided to roll the goat cheese in thyme I had dried over the summer. The salted caramel almonds were a new touch with the beets, but it came out delicious. And last, but not least is the yummy dressing! This quick and easy salad dressing may be my new favorite! It starts with a pack of Good Seasons Italian dressing mix and ends up with a flavorful balsamic salad dressing that ties everything together wonderfully!
Look at that beautiful, colorful and flavorful salad!
A really easy and really delicious balamic dressing!
Salted caramel almonds are so yummy and you will want to use them on other things as well!
This is a beautiful salad to serve for your guests!
