Salad

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    If using fresh beets, preheat your grill. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 30-40 minutes, or until tender. Once cooked, let them cool before peeling and slicing.

  2. 2

    Grill the Greens

    Drizzle the mixed greens with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Preheat the grill and place the greens in a grill basket or on a grill-safe plate. Grill for 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted and charred.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the grilled greens and sliced beets. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and toss gently. Top with crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts, if using.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a warm salad or allow to cool slightly before serving.
