Honey Goat Cheese Dressing

I love reading menus, naturally.  I get ideas on what I can make in my own kitchen, and often find combinations that I haven’t thought of yet.  Recently, I went to a local gluten free pizza place and read through their salad offerings.  They had a beet said with goat cheese that sounded delicious (I LOVE beets)… but I instantly shook my head and told myself to save the $8 because I knew could make my own version.  So here goes!

Beets with Honey Goat Cheese Dressing

Pieces:

1. 2 tbsp. goat cheese
2. 2 tbsp. olive oil
3. 1 tbsp. white wine vinegar
4. 1 tbsp. lemon pepper
5. pinch of salt
6. 1 tbsp. honey
7. 1 tsp. dried or fresh parsley
8. 1 can beets, drained
9. one quarter cup chopped walnuts

Process:

1. In a bowl or salad dressing canister, combine the goat cheese, olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon pepper, salt, honey, and parsley.  Use a fork to stir and combine until creamy.
2. Drain beets and plate. (You could also put over a bed of lettuce for a greener salad.)
3. Top the beets with the dressing and a sprinkle of walnuts.
4. Enjoy!
