Who else loves a hearty salad this time of year? I usually like to add a salad to my meal prep each week to keep things light and fresh.  Especially when I know I either won’t be working out that day or I won’t be doing a lot of heavy lifting.  This salad is perfect for winter when beets and citrus are in abundance.  I topped it off with some roasted pumpkin seeds I had laying around, although you could use whatever nut/seed you like.  Walnuts or pecans would be great here too!

Goat cheese is a great option on this salad because once it hits the warm chicken and beets, it turns into a creamy flavor booster.  It isn’t super salty, but it has just the right amount of flavor to stand up to the beets and balance out the acidity of the citrus here.  I used blood oranges for the vinaigrette for this recipe to get that beautiful pink color, but regular oranges will work just fine!  Enjoy!
