Preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Scrub the beets clean and remove any stems. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife easily pierces through the center.
While the beets are roasting, prepare the feta dressing. In a small bowl, combine the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, and honey. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Once the beets are done roasting, allow them to cool slightly. Unwrap the foil and use a paper towel to gently rub off the skins.
Slice the cooked beets into wedges or rounds, depending on your preference.
In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens. Arrange the beet slices on top.
Drizzle the feta dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the salad for added crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, flavorful salad!
