Give your body a boost with this healthy and delicious Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese and Beets. Easy to toss together and almost fuss-free, it’s the perfect recipe to include nutritious spinach, beets, and walnuts in our everyday menu.
Start with the beets. Place the scrubbed and trimmed beets in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Cook the beets until tender and easily pierced with a knife. Allow to cool, then peel off the skins. Cut the beets into pieces. The dressing is key to this salad. A mix of balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. It’s tangy and sweet and coats the spinach nicely. Toss the spinach with the vinaigrette dressing. Then add the beets and the goat cheese, plus toasted walnuts. A sprinkle of black pepper is my favorite way of topping this salad for more flavor. Serve and enjoy!
To make the Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese and Beets, you will need the following ingredients:
Place 1 ¼ pounds scrubbed and trimmed beets in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Once at a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until tender, 30-60 minutes. Once ready, remove the beets from the water and let cool.
Peel the beets and cut into 1-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 ½ teaspoons honey, 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in ¼ cup olive oil until blended.
Place 5 cups fresh baby spinach in a salad bowl. Drizzle with the prepared dressing and toss to coat. Top with the sliced beets, 2 ounces crumbled fresh goat cheese, and ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts.
Sprinkle with a little black pepper, if you wish, and serve.

I recently made this salad for a picnic with my husband. It was so simple to make and the vibrant colors made it a hit! The tangy dressing is just perfect with the creamy goat cheese. It brought back memories of our first date at a farmer’s market. Absolutely loved it!
