Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Beets
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets in foil and roast them in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until tender. Allow to cool, then peel and slice them.
Caramelize the Figs
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cut the figs in half and place them cut side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until caramelized, then remove from heat.
Crisp the Feta
In the same skillet, crumble the feta cheese and cook until golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the mixed bitter greens, sliced beets, caramelized figs, and crispy feta. Drizzle the cherry maple vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
