Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Toasted Almonds

Beet Salad

Holy moly, it’s a new recipe and it’s not a dessert.  Honestly though, beets are like dessert for me right now.  My awesome buddy Pete got me hooked on beets and taught me how simple they are to prepare and have on hand.  They really are scrumptious and can be used in so many ways that you HAVE to go cook with them now.  So occasionally, Lindsey and I go out to dinner and are always on the hunt for the best farm-to-table restaurants or restaurants that have a focus on local meats etc.  We have found a few favorites and there is always one common factor, everything single one of them has some sort of beet appetizer.  So, since we are all trying to be fancy, now we get to have a beet appetizer that is simple to make and loaded with flavor.

The goat cheese in this recipe is obviously optional but I have been tolerating it well and loving the flavor.  It ties together all of the components of this dish perfectly and just gets my taste buds excited talking about it.  Speaking of excited, I have a secret.  Well I guess it’s not a secret if I tell you but I am starting a Podcast real soon and I can’t wait to share it with you.  All the back end stuff is getting set up now and then we are off and running.  I will even be including video so you get to laugh at my goofy mannerisms and watch me get caught eating bacon when I forget there is a camera on.  Keep your eyes peeled.

I can’t wait to read your comments on this salad and please leave me some feedback on your variations.  We made it again after I photographed it and used a delicious honey balsamic which was amazing.  Have an amazing day and I look forward to sharing some #hugsandbacon.

    This sounds delicious. I may experiment a bit since I can’t go shopping now. My friend calls me an “experimental chef”. How do you think roasted sunflower seeds, arugula, and bleu cheese sound in place of the almonds, frisee, and goat cheese?
    PS: What are the orange pieces?

      Please put calories. I would love to make some of the recipes but because there is no calorie information, I don’t. I am on a doctor’s strict diet of 1400 calories a day.

        I’m sorry but I don’t believe in tracking calories for myself, nor for the recipes I create. There are plenty of sites that can break down the calories and macros for you (I.e. My fitness pal) by dropping the recipe in there.

      The honey balsamic dressing was store bought.

    If you wrap each beet in foil and bake it in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes or until soft when pierced, you get more flavor. When you boil the beet, you lose a lot of flavor in the water.

      It’s a type of leafy vegetable. (I had to look it up)
      I couldn’t find it in my store, so I got a baby spring mix instead and it was still really delicious
