Beetroot and Goats Cheese Salad
The earthy beetroots, rich goat cheese and crisp salad greens make up the delectable beetroot and goat cheese salad.

Notes
Cooking beetroots: Depending on your preference, you can boil or roast beetroots when preparing them. While roasting increases flavor intensity, boiling is faster. Make sure the beets are cooked until a fork can be inserted without difficulty.
Handling beetroots: Using kitchen tongs or wearing gloves will help you prevent staining your hands when handling beetroots. Beetroot juice may be highly powerful and readily leave stains on clothes and surfaces.
Salad greens: Use any salad greens of your preference, including baby spinach, rocket, or mixed greens. Feel free to try out other pairings for more flavor and texture.
