BEET BALSAMIC SALAD

By heathermcginnis

Got this recipe from a Sobeys magazine - and I love beets so couldn't help but try it out...

Ingredients

• 8 medium sized beets
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt and pepper
• 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, leaves only

Preparation

Step 1

Boil beets in salted water till tender - about 30 minutes.

Toast walnuts in a dry skillet till lightly toasted. Cool.

Drain the beets and run under cold water till they can be handled. Peel off skins. Slice them into 1/8" strips.

Mix the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.

Drizzle over beets. Top with goat cheese and walnuts and thyme.

Serve warm or cold.
