Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Beets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 6 cups Mixed greens
- 0.5 cups Feta cheese
- 0.25 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°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!
