Roasted beets and goat cheese salad
Beets – you either love ’em or hate ’em. I choose love 🙂
The only way I ever had beets as a child was pickled. But as an adult, I started experimenting with different preparations and discovered I love them roasted and with all sorts of yummy combinations. Not to mention, the health benefits of beets include improved blood flow, lower blood pressure and increased exercise performance. So – what’s not to love!
Don’t have time to roast beets? Costco to the rescue!
Costco sells these roasted beets (of course in bulk). There are three bags of them in a box. They last forever until you open the pouches. They are always in our fridge.
Costco also has the absolute best price on goat cheese. Two 10.5 oz logs were only $7.99. That much at Kroger would literally run you $24.00!
