A hearty beet salad topped with feta cheese, spiced walnuts and a light, flavorful dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Salad
  • 4 medium beets, trimmed and scrubbed (I used both red and golden)
  • 6 cups baby spinach
  • 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
  • Spiced Walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon minced shallots
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Wrap beets in a layer of foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, turning once or until fork tender. Set aside, until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel skin off of beets and cut into bite-sized pieces; set aside to cool completely.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat butter, water and honey over medium heat until dissolved. Add walnuts; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and cayenne. Cook and stir continually until the walnuts are fully coated and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
  3. In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine all of the dressing ingredients. Make sure the lid is on tight and shake until well blended. Taste and adjust if needed.
  4. Divide spinach, beets, cheese, green onions and walnuts between 4 plates and drizzle with dressing and serve.
