Ingredients

50 ml white balsamic vinegar
10 ml Dijon mustard
1 small shallot, finely minced
1 clove garlic, pressed
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
120 ml good-quality olive oil
4 small golden beets
200 g mixed salad greens
100 g blueberries
50 g pecans
100 g feta cheese

Directions

Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together white balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced shallot, pressed garlic, salt, and pepper. Gradually stream in the olive oil, whisking until well blended.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Individually wrap the golden beets in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until tender when pierced with a fork or knife.
Step 3
Once the beets are tender, remove them from the foil and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes. Gently rub off the skins using a paper towel or a paring knife. Cut the beets in half lengthwise and then into 1/4 inch slices.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the salad greens and blueberries. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Arrange the beet slices, pecans, and feta cheese on top. Drizzle with additional dressing before serving.
Step 5
Serve and enjoy!
