Fresh Beet & Goat Cheese Salad w/Lime Mango Dressing

3 beets cut to bite sized pieces, roasted (recipe follows)
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
6 cups Spring Green Lettuce Mix
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
3 ounces goat cheese

Ingredients for the dressing
1 fresh mango, chopped
juice from 2 medium limes
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or more if you like the heat)
1/8 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

To Roast the Beets: Preheat the oven to 375°. In an 8-inch square nonreactive baking dish, toss the beets with the garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oil, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper and spread...
