How To Make roasted beet and goatcheese salad with grapefruit balsamic dressing

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 375*.
  • Step 2
    Cut stalks off beets. Wash beets and slice into medium-thin slices. You can peel them now, or after they are done roasting.
  • Step 3
    Toss slices with olive oil and all the spices (except the parsley herb).
  • Step 4
    Put beets in loaf baking dish and roast in oven for 40 minutes.
  • Step 5
    In the meantime, boil eggs and cool them. Peel and chop them.
  • Step 6
    FOR DRESSING: Juice the grapefruit, add the sugar and balsamic vinegar. Put dressing in fridge until ready to use.
  • Step 7
    When beets are done, take them out and let them cool. You can peel them at this point, too.
  • Step 8
    When beets are cooled, arrange them on a plate. Take grapefruit dressing, mix it up (it may have settled while waiting); pour grapefruit dressing on top of beets; add chopped egg, and sprinkle top with sea salt, parsley and goat cheese. Enjoy!
