Beetroots
Wash the beetroots, pat them dry, cut in half, coat with olive oil, and place them in a roasting tray cut side down. Bake in a preheated oven at 200ºC (400ºF) for about 35-45 minutes until soft. Remove from the oven, allow them to cool, and remove the skins.
Salad
Wash and dry the spinach and arugula. Chop the walnuts, and cut the beetroots into bite-size pieces. Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and vinegar. Place dollops of the goat cheese mousse on top and serve.
Enjoy 😃
Add salt, pepper, olive oil, and balsamic reduction to the salad, only when you are ready to serve otherwise your greens will start to wilt. Dress as individual servings.
Beets can stain the skin and other materials. Use gloves and an apron to protect your clothes and skin.
Prepare all the ingredients in advance, so that you have a very quick and easy lunch in the fridge for a few days.
Store the ingredients individually, in airtight containers in the fridge.
Serve as an individual bowl or a large salad. Have the roasted beetroot and green salad as a side dish with grilled fish or meat, or as a light dinner.
