Golden Beet Salad

Golden beet salad has quickly become one of my favorite summer dishes! I have enjoyed it both warm, chilled, as a side, as a light lunch, and more! Whether boiled or roasted, golden beets have a wonderful sweet flavor that pairs well with so many other foods. One of my favorite ways to enjoy this salad is with goat cheese, onion, parsley and a yummy vinaigrette. I recently had the opportunity to try Briannas® Home Style Italian Vinaigrette. I received a bottle in my first subscription box by Degustabox USA. This vinaigrette is a blend of oils, vinegar, chopped olives, Romano cheese, with rosemary and basil to create a flavorful dressing that goes so well on crisp greens, pasta, as a marinade, and even golden beet salad!

 I am really loving the small packets of Vita Coco coconut oil! I use coconut oil all the time and these are great for travel! I will be bringing those on vacation!

I have a handful of recipes that I created using items from my June box, which include a dessert, a burger, a chicken dish and a smoothie! Keep an eye out in the next week for more!

Golden Beet Salad

• 6-8 Golden Beets, peeled & sliced.
• 1/4 Cup Red Onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 Cup Goat Cheese, crumbled
• 1/8 Cup Briannas® Italian Vinaigrette
• 1-2 TSP Flat Leaf Parsley, chopped
• Fresh Cracked Pepper, to taste

Begin by peeling and slicing the beets. Try to slice them evenly for faster, more even cooking. Boil them in a large pot of water, over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until fork tender. Do not overcook. Drain and rinse with cool water. Allow beets to cool at least half an hour or more. You can also chill them in the fridge. 

Arrange slices on a platter, then top with red onion slices, goat cheese crumbles and parsley. Drizzled Briannas® Italian Dressing over the top and serve!  I love to eat this salad on its own or even add it to a plain green salad. This is perfect for a hot summer day and travels well. Refrigerate unused portion.
