Ingredients

2 medium Beets (boiled and peeled. )

3 Avocados

250 grams Spinach (or greens of your choice)

100 grams Goat Cheese

2 tbsp Maple Syrup (Grade A dark)

1 tbsp Fig Paste (you can also use fig jam or fig puree. They are all pretty similar and work in this recipe)

1 handful Walnuts (use as much as you want!)

1 Lemon (juiced, makes about 3 tbsp of lemon juice.)

1/2 tsp Salt

Black Pepper (to taste)

Olive Oil (roughly a cup but you might want more or less depending on your preferred dressing consistency.)

Directions

Maple Glazed Beets

Dice your peeled and boiled beets into large chunks and spread on a baking tray. Drizzle with maple syrup and a pinch of salt and pop in the oven at 180C or 350F for around 12 minutes.

While the beets are roasting you can dice your avocado and prepare the dressing. This dressing is optional, you can use another dressing if you prefer.

Fig Vinaigrette

In a bowl add the fig paste, lemon juice, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil as you whisk until you get a desired consistency and emulsion.

Building The Salad

To compose the salad add the spinach and walnuts to a bowl and toss with the dressing. Then place on the diced avocado, crumbled goat cheese, and glazed beets for presentation. Enjoy!
