Salad Ingredients

2 large Beetroots, cooked and sliced (about 300g / 10.5 oz)
4 oz Goat cheese, crumbled (113g)
2 cups Arugula (rocket) (60g)
½ cup Walnuts, chopped (60g)
2 tbsp Fresh mint, chopped (8g)
3 tbsp Olive oil (45ml)
1 tbsp Lemon juice (15ml)
1 tsp Dijon mustard (5ml)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Begin by prepping your ingredients: ensure your cooked beetroots are cooled and slice them into thin rounds. Crumble the goat cheese, chop the walnuts and mint, and measure out your arugula.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create a zesty dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the arugula with half of the dressing until the leaves are lightly coated.
Arrange the dressed arugula on a serving platter as the salad base.
Layer the sliced beetroot rounds on top of the arugula, creating a vibrant red layer.
Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the beetroot slices.
Add the chopped walnuts and mint over the goat cheese for a crunchy and refreshing finish.
Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad just before serving to enhance the flavors.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp textures and bold flavors of this keto-friendly salad.

Notes

To retain the bright color of the beetroots, rinse and pat them dry after slicing.

For added protein, consider topping the salad with grilled chicken or flaked salmon.

If you're preparing this salad ahead of time, keep the dressing separate until you're ready to serve to maintain the freshness of the arugula.

This salad is a great way to incorporate healthy fats and vegetables into your keto diet while enjoying a burst of flavors.
