Whipped Feta

Candied Pepitas

Cider Vinaigrette

Method

Prepare Beets

  1. 1

    Roast the Beets

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 45-60 minutes or until tender. Allow to cool, then peel and slice into wedges.

Make Whipped Feta

  1. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine feta cheese, cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Prepare Candied Pepitas

  1. 3

    Candy the Pepitas

    In a skillet over medium heat, combine pepitas, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir frequently until the sugar melts and coats the pepitas. Remove from heat and let cool on parchment paper.

Make Vinaigrette

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Assemble Salad

    On a serving platter, arrange the roasted beet wedges. Dollop the whipped feta on top, sprinkle with candied pepitas, and garnish with radish sprouts. Drizzle with cider vinaigrette before serving.
