In the summer one of my favorite ways to meal prep is to shop local at the Farmers Market and come up with a meal based on what produce is in season. A couple of summers ago I bought beets for the first time and have been in love with them ever since. I like using golden beets the best because they’re slightly sweeter and they are less messy than the darker red ones.
This salad combines the earthy flavor of beets with sweet pears and tangy goat cheese and makes the perfect summertime meal.
