You might simply roast the beets a day prematurely should you wished to make this for firm. Currently we’ve been roasting beets in foil packets with nice success.

Set that on a baking tray and about an hour later, you’ve got completely cooked beets.
You need actually creamy goat cheese for this. It actually simply turns into one with the salad. I hope you like this recipe as a lot as we did!
