Strawberry Beet Salad

This Strawberry Beet Salad is a fresh and delicious summer salad!  Roasted beets and fresh strawberries are a match made in heaven!

Oooooh do I have something scrumptious for you today…strawberries, strawberries and more strawberries!  It’s that time of year when the markets are full of sweet and flavourful strawberries, and I couldn’t be happier about it.  I buy pints of them and we eat them au naturel as often as we can, but there are so many other ways to enjoy these delectable little summer berries!  They make tarts, cupcakes, sweet buns, salads and cheesecakes mega delicious.  But honestly, the best way to enjoy a strawberry is picking them right from the field, all warm from the sun…we have a couple months until we will be able to do that.  I can’t wait to take the kids out to pick!  For now, I will enjoy our market berries!

Fresh Strawberries {A Pretty Life}

A Fresh and Delicious Summer Salad

I wanted to make something a little unexpected with strawberries, so I made a Strawberry Beet Salad.  Beets and strawberries are amazing when paired together, especially when the beets are oven roasted.  By roasting the beets, their natural sweetness and amazing flavour are enhanced, making them perfect with fresh strawberries.

The beets and strawberries are then tossed in a sweet and tangy balsamic vinaigrette, and topped off with crumbled goat cheese.  So basically this salad is amazing.  Ah.  Mazing.  Fresh, healthy and loaded with summertime flavour.

Recipe Tips:

  • Allow for 1 1/2 to 2 hours to roast your beets. Or use cooked leftover cooked beets to speed things up.  Sometimes I will roast a big batch of beets either in the oven or in the crockpot, on the weekend to use throughout the week in different recipes.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed right away.
  • This salad is delicious with BBQ chicken and fresh bread.  A healthy and complete meal you need to try!

  1. This recipe looks so good, I can’t wait to make it! I’m having a hard time deciding whether to use feta cheese or goat cheese – both are so good.

  2. This looks so delish! The beet salad at The Union Street is one of our most popular menu items, I’d love to try this as an addition!

  3. I love how fresh and vibrant this salad is! This time of year is my favourite and I can’t wait for strawberry picking season either. I swear I’m counting down the days until I can get out of the city with my basket in hand.

  4. This recipe looks so yummy! It includes my favourite ingredients. i am going to make it for the upcoming Canada Day celebrations. The red beets and strawberries will be perfect!

  5. This looks AMAZING! I will be trying this for my 2-year-old twin boys. It is too bad I didn’t come across it for Canada Day — white and red, so perfect.

  6. I made this last weekend for my family and they loved it! I used feta instead of goat cheese and beets right from our garden. Delicious dressing, put in on the side and let people put it on themselves as it was a lot of dressing.
