Beet, Goat Cheese & Balsamic Salad
Red and Golden beets lay over a generous spread of fresh goat chèvre, topped with greens, pumpkin seeds and California Olive Ranch Balsamic Vinaigrette- say hello to your new favorite summer salad. Cool and hearty at the same time, this is a wonderful addition to an outdoor barbecue, as a side at the dinner table, or as a lunch. We love the creamy goat cheese paired with succulent, roasted beets and crunchy pumpkin seeds. California Olive Ranch Balsamic Vinaigrette ties everything together perfectly with its sweet and tangy flavors, making this salad not only delicious, but so easy to prepare.
