Warm Beet Salad With Arugula, Walnuts, And Goat Cheese
A warm beet salad is the perfect salad for winter. It offers a lighter alternative to the heavy, starchy foods that are seasonal during January. The beets offer a great source of fiber, folate, and immune-boosting Vitamin C. Combined with the omega-3 fatty acids found in walnuts, and calcium found in goat cheese, this dish makes for a complete meal, or a healthy side dish.
