Make Ahead Instructions:
To Make Ahead: The beets can be cooked and prepped and the dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store separately in the fridge in airtight containers. Whipped Goat Cheese: Add goat cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic, and a crack of salt and pepper to a food processor then whip until smooth and fluffy. Add a little more Greek yogurt, or a splash of milk if it’s too thick. Balsamic Vinaigrette: Whisk vinaigrette ingredients until well combined. Assemble: Add a bed of greens to serving bowl then top with beets and nuts. Add small dollops of whipped goat cheese over the top then garnish with chives and drizzle desired amount of dressing over salad and serve the best beet salad!

Fruit: Add fresh peeled orange slices or peaches. Nuts: Use your favorite kind, or what’s on hand. Greens: You can use all mixed greens or arugula, or a combination of both.
