Ingredients

2
large red beets, peeled and cut into ½-inch (1 cm) thick wedges
1 tbsp
extra virgin olive oil
8 cups
curly kale, stems removed
2
Bartlett pears, cored, thinly sliced
1 batch
goat cheese croquettes
1/2 cup
raw walnuts
1/4 cup
pumpkin seeds
salt
pepper

Honey mustard dressing

1/4 cup
mayonnaise
2 tbsp
lemon juice
2 tbsp
liquid honey
2 tsp
Dijon mustard
1 tsp
yellow mustard
1 pinch
salt

Instructions

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Roast the beets: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the beet wedges in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the beets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast until fork-tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the beets cool slightly on the baking sheet. The beets can be served warm or stored in a reseal- able container in the fridge for up to 2 days. (You can reheat the beets before serving if desired but you don’t have to.)
  3. Meanwhile, make the money mustard dressing: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, and salt. Whisk together until smooth.
  4. Assemble the salad: In a large serving bowl or on a platter, layer the kale, sliced pears, roasted beets, and Goat Cheese Croquettes. Sprinkle with the walnuts and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with the Honey Mustard Dressing and serve.
  TIPS:  Vegan: Follow the vegan option to make the Goat Cheese Croquettes. Use vegan mayonnaise and maple syrup instead of honey to make the dressing. Gluten-free: Follow the gluten-free option to make the Goat Cheese Croquettes. Nut-free: Use more pumpkin seeds instead of walnuts.
