Mixed Greens with roasted almonds and beets and a touch of feta cheese




As promised...the first recipe from last nights dinner party!

Mixed Greens with Roasted Almonds and Beets, topped off with some 
feta cheese and a homemade vinagrette





The Ingredients:


your choice of mixed greens

oven roasted beets

skillet roasted almond slivers

some good feta cheese


The Easy Directions


Wrap the beets covered in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper in foil and bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until tender. I had my oven set at 400°F. The almonds you simply brown in a pan on the stove--watch out---your kitchen will smell wonderful! Crumble the cheese.

To assemble


Arrange the mixed greens on a salad plate, add sliced beets, sprinkle with some almond slivers and feta cheese.

And to top it off:      The Vinaigrette!!

Whisk together: 2 Tablespoons Honey, 1 1/2 Tablespoons Djion Mustard, 3 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper. In a slow stream, add 6 Tablespoons grapeseed oil.

Pour over salad and there you have it!

One more thing, since I did not have red wine vinegar on hand I used some of my homemade cranberry vinegar---YUMMY!

Happy Foodie Friday Everyone!

  1. Walnuts compete with unhealthy fats and protect blood vessels and the heart Do you want to buy walnut online? You can order walnuts at Allnuts! We do not have to present walnuts to the average consumer. Almost everyone grew up with these brain-shaped fruits with a very recognizable shell. If you would ask most people which walnut trees they know, the walnut tree would certainly come first. For many consumers this note is also known as the walnut.

  2. Hazelnuts ensure a healthy heart and limit cholesterol levels in the body. Do you want to buy hazelnuts online? You can order hazelnuts naturally with allnuts. Everyone knows the hazelnut. This nut grows on a shrub native to Belgium and the Netherlands that we know as the hazel. The well-known shrub is found in all areas with a temperate climate. Perhaps less well known is that, according to some scientists, the hazelnut is related to the birch. Others prefer to treat the hazel as a separate plant family. Whatever the case, the hazelnut is in any case a nut from us. Just like the birch, the hazel bears the characteristic catkins in the spring.
