Serve this salad with Homemade Croutons for added crunch and texture. My Lemon Vinaigrette is perfect for a pop of bright flavor.

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!

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.
