Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 4 medium Red Beets Roast whole for maximum flavor.
  • 1 cup Toasted Walnut Halves Substitute with pecans or almonds if desired.
  • 1 cup Feta Cheese Consider goat cheese for a softer touch.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley Microgreens or chives could be lovely alternatives.
For the Vinaigrette
  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil Rich flavor as the dressing base.
  • 3 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar Adds bright acidity.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard Helps emulsify the dressing.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Maple syrup is a great vegan swap.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 45-120 minutes until fork-tender. Let them cool, then peel and slice.
  2. In a dry skillet, lightly toast walnut halves over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Finely grate a portion of the toasted walnuts for your vinaigrette.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, grated walnuts, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the mixture is emulsified and smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, combine sliced roasted beets with the homemade vinaigrette. Gently fold in crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley just before serving to maintain freshness.
