Today was a banner day at the local farmers market. I picked up fresh greens, beets, figs, and some fruit; just like a Hallmark movie, you can see where this is going- except no misunderstanding and no Candice Cameron Bure’. We have roasted sweet, earthy beets, crunchy walnuts, and smooth tangy goat cheese. Top with a sweet and tart dressing, and you have the farmers market on a plate. I hope you like it. (I also got some bacon, wings, and waygu beef, but you’ll see those later.)
2 large roasted beets, chopped (add the beet greens to your salad greens)
5 fresh figs, quartered
Salt and pepper for beets
1 package greens (I got mine from Pennington Market Farms, Nokesville, VA)

4 ounces walnuts

2 teaspoons honey
1/2 cup blueberries (smash half)

Cut off stems of beets; clean and save the greens for your salad.

My husband will love this salad. These are all of his favorite ingredients. For me, I will have to leave out the figs and the beets because I control my blood sugar levels by following a Keto Lifestyle.
