Roasted Beet & 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 really well with goat cheese, so naturally, I included goat cheese. Additionally, 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 all turned 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 salad with lots of color and flavor!
This balsamic dressing is easy to make and quite delicious! It uses a pack of Good Seasons Italian dressing.
Salted caramel almonds are yummy! So yummy you will want to use them on other things, too!
This is a beautiful salad to serve to your guests! Much of it can also be made ahead of time.

- Place scrubbed beets on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and generously season with kosher salt.
