I had a bunch of roasted beets left over, so I thought I'd make a beet salad. Made some improvisations on the fly, but what I came up with was REALLY good, and I'll be doing it again...
6 medium roasted beets, medium dice
8 ounces of salad greens. I used a spring mix
2 ounces of soft to semi-firm cheese of your choice (I used feta, next time I'll try stilton)
8 ounces seared seasoned shrimp.
Mix all in a bowl. You can also add things like dried cranberries, pecans, walnuts, etc.
Dressing:
1/4 C orange juice (add a bit of sugar if not too sweet or if you like a sweeter dressing)
1/4 C extra virgin olive oil
1/4 C balsamic vinegar
2 t finely minced garlic
1 T Dijon mustard (acts as an emulsifier to keep the dressing together)
Combine the dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk until combined well.
Dress the salad and add salt & fresh ground pepper to taste.
It was a perfect salad for a warm summer evening.

This looks really good, and I have found that goat cheese works really well with roasted beets.

I was going to use goat cheese, but holy crap the prices at my local store!
A 3 ounce log of goat cheese for $9? No freaking way!
