Ingredients

  • 3 large beets

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 bunch fresh kale, cut into bite-size pieces

  • ½ cup chopped cashews

  • ¼ cup dried cherries

  • 2 tablespoons golden raisins

  • ½ cup apple cider

  • ½ lemon, juiced

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. Trim roots and stems from beets. Coat beets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place beets onto prepared baking sheet.

  3. Roast beets for 30 minutes; turn beets over and continue roasting until tender, 30 minutes to 1 hour more. Let beets cool. Peel skins from beets and cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss cooked beets with kale, cashews, dried cherries, and golden raisins in a large salad bowl.

  4. Whisk apple cider, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and cider vinegar in a bowl. Slowly drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil into apple cider mixture, whisking constantly, until dressing is combined. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour for flavors to blend before serving.

Cook's Note:

You can add chevre (goat) cheese right before serving if you would like to add a creamy texture. This salad is even great the next day as kale holds its firmness quite well!
