This Roasted Beet, Apple, and Goat Cheese Salad has quite a lot going for it. The beets are earthy and sweet, the Granny Smith apples are tart and crunchy, and the goat cheese is creamy and a little tangy. Throw some grilled chicken on top (totally optional!) and drizzle with balsamic vinegar (or a vinaigrette if you aren't as much of a fan of straight up vinegar as I am) and you have yourself one delicious, filling, salad.

I've been making this salad for my lunches at work for the past couple of weeks. To be honest, it is even giving my usual favorite lunch salad (Strawberry Balsamic Salad) a run for its money!

This salad can totally be part of a meal prep situation, too. Just roast your beets and grill your chicken (if using) on Sunday; toss the beets, chicken, some greens, and cheese in a bowl the night before work; and slice your apples just before eating. Sprinkle with salt, drizzle with dressing, and eat!

    I just love the crispness of apples in a salad - this sounds like a wonderful fall dish, especially with some grilled chicken and balsamic vinaigrette, for me!
