Instructions
Preheat oven to 400ºF. If beets are more than 2” across, cut them down into smaller chunks, about 2” across.
Place beets in a large square of foil and sprinkle with salt. Wrap tightly and place in the oven until a knife can be inserted easily (about 40 minutes). When cool enough to handle, rub off the skin. Cut into ½” cubes and reserve.
While the beets are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the orzo according to package directions. Drain and reserve.
Bring another pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the kale until softened (about 4 minutes). Drain and reserve.
To make vinaigrette, in a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard and garlic. Slowly whisk in the olive oil.
Place the beets, orzo and kale in a large bowl. Toss with the vinaigrette. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Crumble in the goat cheese.
