Instructions
Creating this amazing Beets Salad is simple. Follow these steps for a delectable result:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Beets: Wash the beets thoroughly, removing any dirt. Cut off the tops and root ends but leave the skins on.
3. Wrap Beets: Individually wrap each beet in aluminum foil, sealing tightly.
4. Roast Beets: Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. They should be fork-tender.
5. Cool Beets: Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Unwrap and peel the skins (they should come off easily) under cold running water.
6. Slice Beets: Slice the beets into wedges or rounds, depending on your preference.
7. Prepare Greens: In a large bowl, add the mixed greens and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
8. Add Ingredients: Top the greens with the sliced beets, red onion, and walnuts.
9. Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to taste.
10. Toss Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
11. Add Feta: Finish by sprinkling the crumbled feta cheese on top.
12. Garnish: If desired, add fresh herbs for extra flavor and presentation.
