Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 red beets with tops
3 yellow beets with tops
6 cups mixed spring greens
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced, separated into rings
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup walnuts, toasted
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut the tops off the beets leaving about 2 inches of the stalk. Scrub beets well and wrap in foil with 2 beets of equal size in each packet.
  • Place on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven until beets yield to gentle pressure; approximately 1 hour. Remove from oven, unwrap and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle, slip the skins off of the beets; set aside.
  • While the beets are roasting, place the maple syrup through lemon juice in a blender container. Blend until well combined. With blender running, drizzle in the olive oil and continue to blend until thickened.
  • To assemble the salad, place the greens in a large bowl and drizzle with a small amount of dressing, toss to coat. Divide the greens among 6 chilled plates. Quarter beets or if large cut in eights and divide among the plates, top with onion rings, sprinkle feta and walnuts over all.
  • Serve with addition dressing on the side.
