  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Drizzle the red vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine with salt and pepper

Notes

  • Only add the red vinaigrette to the fresh beet and goat cheese salad before serving it. You should leave the vinaigrette off if you choose to assemble the salad ahead of time.
  • It's best to enjoy this fresh goat cheese salad immediately after it has been assembled for the best flavor and texture. Remember that fresh salad ingredients will start to soften and wilt in storage.
  • Omit the walnuts if catering to nut allergies.
