Roasted Beet Salad with Goat Cheese

This is a delicious salad. We got fresh beets from Kiss-im-mee Green Place farm in Orlando.

4 fresh beets
1/3 cup pecans, chopped
2 Tbsp. agave nectar
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
1/3 c. olive oil
2 oz. goat cheese
Spring mix salad greens

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash and trim ends from beets. Wrap each in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for one hour. Remove from oven to cool for a bit. When cool enough to handle, peel and slice beets.

Heat chopped pecans in a skillet until they started to toast. Add agave and stir until coated. Remove from heat.

Mix vinegar and oil, along with salt, pepper and other desired seasonings.

Place salad greens on plates. Top with sliced beets, goat cheese and drizzle with dressing.
