Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 small beets, washed and peeled
  • 1 (5-ounce) bag spring mix salad greens
  • 2 oranges, peeled and sectioned
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup cacao nibs
  • Cocoa Vinaigrette, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Brush the beets with the olive oil mixture, then wrap them in aluminum foil and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake until fork tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the foil. Slice the beets and set aside.

Evenly divide the salad greens, orange sections, walnuts, goat cheese, red onion, and beets between 4 salad plates. Top each salad with 2 tablespoons of cacao nibs. Drizzle with Cocoa Vinaigrette just before serving.

Cocoa Vinaigrette:

In a small bowl, add the vinegar, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and pepper and whisk until smooth. Slowly add the oil, whisking constantly, until blended.

Yield: about 1/2 cup

    This is a favorite salad with my whole family. If you have someone who has to have meat, serve with thinly sliced grilled steak on top.

    I loved the idea of this salad, but I was disappointed with the vinaigrette recipe. It seems everyone else that reviewed like it, so I went back over the recipe and made sure that I added everything in the right amounts, and I guess it just did not suit my taste which surprised me. I will be using a raspberry vinaigrette instead.
