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
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.
