DRESSING
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons shallots, minced
1 tablespoon honey
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
SALAD
6 medium beets, roasted and quartered
6 cups arugula (baby spinach or salad greens work well too)
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/4 1/4 cup dried cherries or 1/4 cup dried blueberries
1/2 avocado, large, peeled, pitted and sliced thinly
3 ounces goat cheese, fresh, soft, and crumbled

1
Scrub beets to remove all excess dirt and dry with clean cloth. Moderately coat the beets in extra virgin olive oil and wrap individually in foil.
2
Roast beets in 350 degree oven for approximately 1 hour.
3
While beets are roasting, prepare dressing by combining all ingredients, whisking and setting aside for flavors to meld.
4
Toast walnuts in a small pan over medium heat. Remove from heat once toasted (approx. 5 minutes) and set aside to cool.
5
Remove beets from oven, remove foil and place in bowl to cool~ approximately 30-45 minutes.
6
Rub olive oil into hands and with a pairing knife, peel beets. The juice will stain your hands if you do not continue to rub hands down with oil, or wear gloves.
7
Quarter the beets- or if they are large, slice into 1 inch chunks and reserve.
8
Prepare salad by combining salad greens of choice, beets and avocado with a small amount of dressing. Continue to add dressing to your liking.
9
Plate salads and top with dried fruit (cranberries, cherries or blueberries) and crumble goat cheese on top.
10
Savor every single bit of this heavenly bit of delicious-ness. Mmmm-mmm-mmmm!
