This Roasted Beet Goat Cheese Salad from Delish.com can't be beat.

Roasted Beet Goat Cheese Salad

beets,

arugula

avocado, sliced

goat cheese, crumbled

c. chopped toasted walnuts

c. extra-virgin olive oil

c. balsamic vinegar

maple syrup

Dijon mustard

Kosher salt

black pepper

Great simple salad and perfect dressing for the beets. This recipe is a keeper!

This salad is really, really good. When I roast my beets, I brush them with olive  oil, then add some chopped fresh rosemary, salt and pepper, and close up the foil packet.  The dressing is really nice— it doesn’t separate.  It’s so thick that it’s better to serve alongside the salad rather than to add to the salad and toss.

This was delicious, definitely going to put in my favourite list of salads 
however my dressing was quite dark and it didn’t look like the picture,

Wonderful, easy salad to compliment steak.  I roasted beets, toasted walnuts and made vinaigrette day before so just had to toss together right before meal.  Easy and elegant!

This salad was a hit with everyone last night. This will be my go-to salad dressing from now on.

This simple pasta salad is perfect for lunch or as a barbecue side dish. To make it vegan, omit the feta.

Green Goddess Quinoa Summer Salad - simple, healthy, and extremely adaptable to whatever veggies you have on hand! my family LOVES this recipe. vegetarian and can be made vegan.

Green Goddess Quinoa Summer Salad

quinoa (I cook mine in the rice cooker with broth)

cherry tomatoes

spinach leaves

(or more, to taste) Magic Green Sauce

Mozzarella cheese,

almonds

asparagus

chicken

Cook the quinoa in advance if you can &#8211; it tastes best when it&#8217;s had a few hours to cool.

Toss all ingredients together to combine! If the Magic Green Sauce is too thick to toss together with the other ingredients, just add a little water or oil to the bowl and it should toss together smoothly.

Weekends are meant for treats :) that's what I think anyway!

I like to get back into the swing of things on a Monday though and this looks perfect for it, especially as the sun is actually out right now here in England. Rare occasion!

Heart you big time. &lt;3 &lt;3 &lt;3

And also, I now have serious needs for this salad in my face.

I've actually never tried quinoa, but I am a major spinach addict.  This gives me a good excuse to try your salad.  Thanks for sharing!

Dang it...and I thought I was doing good with just eating a salad today that was topped with steak, every berry imaginable and avocado...with Parmesan cheese -_- ....Welllll at least I got the green part right HA.

I'll do this NEXT Monday :D

I made this recipe last night and used some leftovers from my fridge including shredded chicken and spiralized zucchini.  I also substituted the pistachios in the Green Goddess dressing for cashews, since I recently made your Cashew Cream Sauce (omg so good I want it on everything!) and had leftover cashews.  A++!! This was divine! I will definitely be doing this again! Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes and accompanying them with such a joyful blog and stunning photography!

Suzy, I just love your recipes, including Balela Salad. I have one favor to ask, though - when you list nutrition per portion, would it be possible to actually say what the portion is? A cup? Two cups? what? for us on a diet Mediterranean plan, it is important to know. Thank you very much!!!
