This is an incredibly tasty salad that is packed full of nutrients and vitamins! It is also one that will keep you feeling satisfied longer than most.
Ingredients
- 3 large beets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 bunch fresh kale, cut into bite-size pieces
- ½ cup chopped cashews
- ¼ cup dried cherries
- 2 tablespoons golden raisins
- ½ cup apple cider
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 2
Trim roots and stems from beets. Coat beets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place beets onto prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Roast beets for 30 minutes; turn beets over and continue roasting until tender, 30 minutes to 1 hour more. Let beets cool. Peel skins from beets and cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss cooked beets with kale, cashews, dried cherries, and golden raisins in a large salad bowl.
Step 4
Whisk apple cider, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and cider vinegar in a bowl. Slowly drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil into apple cider mixture, whisking constantly, until dressing is combined. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour for flavors to blend before serving.
Cook’s Note:
You can add chevre (goat) cheese right before serving if you would like to add a creamy texture. This salad is even great the next day as kale holds its firmness quite well!
