Goat Cheese and Beet Spring Salad

Friday, June 13, 2014 by Lolli 24 Comments

 
 
I am obsessed with this goat cheese and beet spring salad…and it’s not just about the taste (which is amazing, by the way). I am obsessed with how sinfully EASY it is to make.

Which is why I’ve been eating a lot of this salad lately…

Perhaps the perfect light and tasty lunch or side salad at the dinner table: Goat cheese and beet spring salad with light vinaigrette

Can you blame me?

My husband and I went out for dinner and a movie a few weeks ago, and the only restaurant near the movie theater that didn’t have a 45 minute wait was a pretty basic sit-down burger place. I wasn’t too picky about where we ate as long as we could make the movie…

I ordered a salad for dinner that night, intrigued by the beets (which I LOVE on salads) and the candied walnuts (which I also love on salads). The salad I ordered at the restaurant had grilled chicken on it, but honestly the chicken was the least-impressive thing about it.

I came home determined to recreate the beet and walnut and goat cheese salad at home…and I was amazed at how easy it was to do. And what’s better, it whipped up in LESS than 15 minutes and was perfect for this week’s 15 Minute SALAD theme.

Note: I calculated the Weight Watchers Points Plus value for this salad, and as long as you use approximately 1 Tablespoon of vinaigrette, 1 ounce of goat cheese, and 1/8 cup of candied walnuts, this salad would come in at 7 Points+. Of course, the greens and the beets are 0 points, so feel free to LOAD up on those. You could reduce the points of this recipe by using a reduced fat cheese, a lighter vinaigrette, or switching to a lighter nut.

The vinaigrette is pretty basic, but if you don’t love vinaigrettes, then try another pre-made dressing. I have also made this salad with a creamy poppyseed dressing which was delicious as well…just a little sweeter than the vinaigrette.
