Instructions

Roasting The Beets

  • Clean your beets well with a vegetable scrubber. You'll also want to clean up the ends a bit. Cut off the base and top part of the beets, creating a flat base and top. Cut the beets into wedges - about ½ an inch thick.
  • Place the beets onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Toss them with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and a good sprinkle of kosher salt. Roast in a preheated oven at 375° F.
  • Continue to roast until the beets are fork tender and caramelized, about 35-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool.

The Apple Cider Vinaigrette

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ACV, mustard, hot honey, garlic, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Roasted Beet Salad Assembly

  • Lay out a bed of the greens.
  • Arrange beet wedges along with the orange segments. A healthy crumble of feta and sprinkle of the pistachios go next.
  • Dress with the vinaigrette, one last drizzle of hot honey, and a healthy sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
  • Enjoy with your eyes and your tastebuds!
