Bibb Lettuce, Roasted Beets, and Feta Cheese
Description
The recipe begins by roasting small baby beets wrapped in foil at 350°F for 1 to 1 ½ hours until tender. After cooling, the skins are peeled off by gentle rubbing, leaving clean beets that can be left whole or sliced as preferred. Bibb lettuce is used for its soft, buttery leaves which provide a mild base.
Salt dissolves in red wine vinegar, then olive oil is whisked in to create a balanced vinaigrette. The beets and lettuce are tossed gently in this dressing to coat thoroughly without bruising the leaves. Crumbled feta adds a salty, creamy contrast sprinkled on top before serving.
This salad works well as a light starter or side dish, offering a blend of earthy sweetness from the beets and tangy, creamy notes from the cheese paired with crisp greens. The simple dressing enhances but does not overpower the ingredients.

- 10 beet small baby
