Roasted Beet Salad:

It is salad season and this roasted beet salad is sure to be a crowd pleaser. And it is a great prep ahead meal for those busy weeknights.

Ingredients you will need:

1. Beets
2. Olive oil
3. Salt and pepper
4. Lemon
5. Orange
6. Red wine vinegar
7. Manuka honey
8. Halloumi cheese
9. Ghee or any oil you use
10. Supergreens
11. Red onion
12. Homemade candied pecans

How to prepare roasted beets:

The first thing you are going to want to prepare, is the roasted beets. Peel the beets, chop into bite size pieces, add to a lined baking sheet, and add olive oil, salt + pepper. And roast the beets 400°F for 30-35 minutes or until the beets are fork tender. But make sure to let them cool completely before adding to the salad or else it will wilt the salad.

Honey Halloumi:

And while the beets are roasting, prepare the honey halloumi cheese. Add the ghee or any oil you are using to a pan and warm for a minute or so on medium heat. And add the sliced halloumi cheese to pan and drizzle manuka honey all over the cheese. Cook a few minutes on each side and let cool before adding to salad.

Preparing the dressing:

Preparing the homemade orange honey dressing is simple. Add all the ingredients to a jar and shake it all up. Store the leftovers in the refrigerator.

Putting the salad together:

And once everything is done, start layering up the salt. Add the greens to a bowl, add roasted beets, sliced red onions, honey halloumi cheese, candied pecans, drizzle the dressing over the salad, and toss.

Can I meal prep this salad in advance?

Yes, this salad can be prepped in advance. But I would suggest keeping everything separate and putting the salad together the day you plan on enjoying. Because this will keep everything fresh and prevent having a soggy salad.

What can I serve with this salad?

This salad is great by itself as a meal. But it also can be served with oven roasted chicken thighs, fish, or any other preferred proteins.
