Roasted Beet Salad with Feta Cheese

Ingredients:

• 5 medium red beets
• 1 lemon juice (about 3-4 Tbsp.)
• 1/2 cup feta cheese
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 shallot (minced)
• 2 green onions (chopped)

Recipe:

Roast the beets:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Wash beets well and place in an oven-safe dish and cover with foil.
3. Roast beets in oven for 1-2 hours, depending on size. Once done, you should be able to stick a fork or toothpick in easily.
4. Let roasted beets sit for 30 minutes before you remove the skin. Be sure to use a paper towel or gloves to peel off the skin!

Assemble the salad:

1. Chop the beets and let marinate in 2 Tbsp. of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for 10 minutes.
2. Toss in the remaining ingredients and stir. Serve cold. Enjoy!
