Total Time: 40 mins
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 4 medium beets – scrubbed, trimmed, and cut in half
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 (10-ounce) package mixed baby salad greens
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 ounces goat cheese
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. Put the beets in a saucepan and add enough water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until the beets are soft.
2. Drain the water and let the beets cool, then cut them into cubes.
3. While the beets are cooking, place the walnuts in a skillet over medium-low heat. Toast them until warm and lightly browned.
4. Add the maple syrup and stir until the walnuts are evenly coated. Remove from heat and let them cool.
5. For the dressing, whisk together orange juice concentrate, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil in a small bowl.
6. To serve, place a handful of baby greens on each of four plates. Sprinkle the candied walnuts evenly over the greens.
7. Add the beet cubes on top, then crumble the goat cheese over them. Drizzle the dressing over each salad before serving.
