Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Golden Beets

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the golden beets thoroughly, then wrap each beet in aluminum foil. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until fork-tender. Once done, let them cool slightly and then peel the skins off.

  2. 2

    Make the Spiced Pecans

    In a skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for about 5 minutes until fragrant. Add honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the pecans are well-coated and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Slice the roasted golden beets into wedges and arrange them on a serving platter. Crumble the Bulgarian feta cheese over the beets. Sprinkle the spiced pecans on top.

  2. 4

    Dress the Salad

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, and chopped lemon thyme. Drizzle this dressing over the salad. Garnish with fresh organic cress and season with black pepper to taste.
