Recently, I shared my go-to recipe for roasted beets. They are so delicious, that I knew I wanted to find another way to enjoy them aside from being a side dish. Combining them with a simple baby greens mix, feta cheese and nuts sounded just right. I have been enjoying this salad for lunch every week and I absolutely love it!
Ingredients:
- beets
- mixed greens
- feta or goat cheese

How to make Roasted Beet Salad?
- Start by roasting beets.
- Prepare the dressing if using homemade.
- To plate: start with greens, then add beets, cheese, and pecans.
- Lastly, drizzle with dressing.
- Serve immediately.
What greens can I use?
I absolutely love the Italian mixed green salad (with baby lettuce and greens, radicchio, romaine, bibb, spinach). Any lettuce mix you like will work.
Storing leftovers:
I recommend storing roasted beets and the greens separately. The beets can be served cold and wared up. Assemble the salad and serve with dressing.
