Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Salad

May 3, 2017 by Felesha 34 Comments

Tender roasted beets tossed with tangy goat cheese, toasted walnuts and a yummy balsamic vinaigrette!!

Roasted Beets & Goat Cheese Salad

Hey Guys! I took an MRT (Mediator Release Test) a few weeks back to help me determine some of my food sensitivities. This blood test checks your immune system’s response to over 150 foods and chemicals so that you can begin to detect the culprit of inflammation in your body. My results were completely surprising to say the least. Who’s immune system is reactive to LETTUCE!!!! Seriously?!?!?!? I’ve been eating lots of salads lately so the test was able to easily pick up this sensitivity!!!

So this week instead of posting a salad that contains the inflammation culprit…LETTUCE, I decided to post this lovely Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Salad. If you remember my Roasted Beet & Baby Kale Salad, then you know about my affinity for the roasted beet. Roasted beets are everything because this particular preparation brings out all of that stored sweetness. They are chock full of nutrients to boot!! These babies help lower blood pressure and heart disease risks, boosts stamina, increases blood flow to the brain, decreases inflammation, and improves digestion. Wow!!! What a powerhouse root vegetable!!!

Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Salad

When I think of chronic inflammation, I think of stress. When I think of stress, it makes me think that I need to rely on trusting in God to alleviate the stress. Proverbs 3:5 states to “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” If you’re finding yourself in a position in which you’r worrying about what to do in a particular situation, begin to trusting God more on it. Know that He has the perfect plan/solution just for you to see you through.  Say Grace and enjoy!!

    Beetroot and goats cheese is a classic for a reason. It’s just so darn tasty. Love the addition of the walnuts and that’s exactly the dressing I would have used.

    That’s so curious that lettuce is inflammatory to your body! I wonder what it is specifically that triggers inflammation? I feel your pain on not being able to have salads! I have ulcerative colitis and now I don’t have a colon as well so I can’t enjoy leafy green or lettuce salads very often. Salads like this have become my favorite so thanks for sharing such an awesome recipe and I hope your inflammation troubles are all sorted out soon!

    Just about to give this recipe a try but all I have on hand are cold pre-cooked beets, will that make a huge difference in the taste? Looks awesome can’t wait to try it!

      Hi Haley! It depends on how they were prepared. Boiled beets don’t tend to have the same concentrated flavor of roasted beets. Nevertheless, let me know how it turns out for you.

    Could this be made ahead and refrigerated or is it best eaten warm? Thank you!

      I prefer it room temp so just take it out of the fridge early.
