  • To save time, use pre-cooked beets or canned beets. If using fresh beets, roast them in the oven at 400°F for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
  • If you don't have goat cheese, you can substitute feta cheese or blue cheese.
  • For a vegan version of this salad, omit the goat cheese and use a plant-based dressing.
  • This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
