The original publish date of this recipe:
I first shared this delicious beet and broccoli salad back in 2014 and its always been a favorite of mine for many reasons.
I've since gone back into this publication to give this post some updating and love including new photos, additional recipe information, and a printable recipe card, but the recipe itself has remained unchanged.
Why you can't beat golden beets:
What I wrote about this recipe in 2014:
Beets have been an acquired taste for me over the years. Now I finally appreciate their earthy, almost sweet taste, especially after they've been roasted.
This recipe for Roasted Golden Beet and Broccoli Salad is slightly sweet, definitely savory, and completely healthy!
I saw these beautiful golden beets in the market and knew I had to find a way to use them.
For me, golden beets taste the same as red beets, but they're easier (and cleaner) to work with because you won't wind up with stained hands and cutting boards after handling them.
March to your own beet:
Of course, if you prefer red beets, by all means, use those in this recipe.
You'll still love the complex flavors and textures of this light, healthy, colorful, and delicious salad.
How to serve roasted golden beet and broccoli salad:
This salad can be eaten as a side or as a meatless entree.
The choice is yours, and either way you choose to serve it, just make sure you do.
Warm on cool, or cool on cool? What say you??
My preference for this salad is to serve it with chilled lettuces right from the fridge along with the warm beets and broccoli shortly after they've been taken out of the oven.
To me, the juxtaposition of flavors, textures, and temperatures makes this amazing salad even more appealing.
Try it for yourself and let me know what you think.
Can this salad be made in advance?
It sure can be, but only if you don't want the temperature differences of the warm veggies to mingle with the cool lettuce, cheese, and dressing.
If your salad preferences typically run cool on cool ingredients, then you'll be happy to know that all of the components of this salad (including the roasted beets and broccoli) can be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator until it's time to assemble and serve.
It's a hostess's dream come true, and it's a beauty to boot!
Additional recipes featuring broccoli:
Creamy Roasted Broccoli and Cheddar Soup has enough cheesy decadence to be considered a comfort food, but it's also healthy which makes it the best of both worlds!

Maybe it's me but I always find golden beets to be sweeter, but such a pretty salad and summery too!
foody schmoody says
I have actually never tried beets. It's so silly, I always want to but then just never do. Seeing a beautiful dish like this puts me back in the "I want to try beets" column.
Renee Goerger says
Yes, try them. They've got quite an earthy flavor and they're delicious!
Marjory @ Dinner-Mom says
Love your make ahead strategy. I think this would convince the latecomers to the beet fan club!
Renee Goerger says
Thanks Marjory 🙂
Deanna - Teaspoon of Spice says
Wow - so so pretty. It took me well into adulthood to appreciate the beet and now I love them. I will eat any veggie when you roast it like this - look forward to trying this recipe out!
Renee Goerger says
Thank you so much Deanna. I just know you're going to love this salad as much as we did!
