Ingredients
For the salad
- 6 cups mixed spring greens
- 1 1/2 pounds beets red, yellow or a combination of the two, look for small to medium sized beets
- 1 avocado peeled, pitted and sliced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1/2 cup pecans coarsely chopped
For the dressing
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Scrub the beets clean and trim the stem and root ends.
- Place 2-3 beets of the same color on a large sheet of foil. Wrap the beets tightly in foil. Repeat with any remaining beets. Be sure to separate the red beets from the yellow beets.
- Place the foil wrapped beets on a sheet pan. Bake for 1 hour or until beets are tender.
- Unwrap the beets and let them cool for 10-15 minutes. Use a paper towel to gently rub the skins off the beets.
- Cut the beets into 1 inch pieces. Cool the beets completely.
- Place the mixed greens, beets, avocado, feta cheese and pecans in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients until smooth.
- Drizzle the dressing over the beet mixture, gently toss to coat. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use multiple colors of beets for a fancier presentation.
- The balsamic dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.
