Beat your Goat Salad

Ok- well you don't have to beat a goat to make a salad- it was just a play on words.. get it?!

This is awesome for packing in your lunch, just make sure you cook up your beets before hand, it's just as good with warm beets as it is with leftovers.

Ingredients:

4 medium beets- scrubbed, trimmed and cut in half

1/3C walnuts- toasted if you're in a fancy mood

3Tbs maple syrup

3 Tbs reduced balsamic- you can buy this if you don't feel like having vinegar burn your nose as you try to make it

1 Package of baby greens

2 oz of Goat Cheese

Directions:

1. Place beets in a saucepan and fill with enough water to cover, then bring to a boil and cook them for 20-30 minutes. Drain, cool and cut in cubes
2. While beets are cooking toss chopped walnuts into a skillet and toast, when they start to get fragrant add the maple syrup and cook until evenly coated. Remove from heat, let cool
3. Plate your greens (4 plates), and divide the ingredients up evenly among the plates. Dress with a little bit of reduced balsamic and enjoy.
