Green Salad with Beets and Goat Cheese Recipe
If you’re craving a salad that’s anything but boring, this Green Salad with Beets and Goat Cheese brings bold flavor and vibrant color to the table. Tender baby greens are tossed with sweet beets, creamy goat cheese, crunchy walnuts, and sharp red onions, then finished with a fresh three-ingredient orange vinaigrette that pulls it all together.

Ingredients
- 5-6 ounces baby greens
- ½ cup red onions cut into long thin slices
- ½ cup canned beets well drained
- 2 ounces goat cheese crumbles
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Drain the beets. While they're draining chop the onion and greens (you can leave the greens as is if you want).
- On a large platter layer the greens, beets, onions, goat cheese, and walnuts.
- Dress with 3 Ingredient Orange Vinaigrette right before serving.
Notes
Use slivered, chunked, or whole beets – I buy beets that are already cut into thin slivers, like you see in the photos. If your store doesn’t carry them that way, you can use chunked beets or slice them yourself—whatever’s easiest!
Chop the greens slightly – I like to give the greens a rough chop so they’re not in large, floppy pieces. It makes the salad easier to eat and helps everything mix together more evenly.
Serve it layered or tossed – For presentation, I usually layer this salad on a large platter (mine is about 11 inches wide by 15 ½ inches long). It looks beautiful and makes each ingredient stand out. But if you’re in a hurry or prefer a more casual look, feel free to toss everything together in a large bowl—it’ll taste just as good!
