ROASTED BEET, PEAR AND FETA SALAD
I cut this salad recipe out of a weekly local newspaper the other day and haven't had the chance to test it. I would like to try golden beets for the red beets. If you cannot find mache (lamb's lettuce), substitute butter lettuce or fresh mixed greens. Serve with crusty French bread!

BEET AND FETA SALAD
This is a very refreshing tasting salad and so easy to prepare! You can use any kind of light tasting salad dressing, I really enjoy it with vidalia onion salad dressing by virginia brand. The 1 hour cooking time is for the chilling time required for the beet mixture. You can skip the chilling time if you refrigerate the can of beets during the day.

WARM BOK CHOY, BEET AND FETA SALAD
Straying from bok choy's usual Asian flair, this lovely bright pink salad has a rich feta flavor with a fresh clean finish. The bok choy provides a nice crunch while the beets keep the tones earthy, with the feta and garlic to sharpen the flavor.

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH PICKLED ONIONS AND FETA
Steps:
- Combine the onion, vinegar, and a couple of pinches of salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- If using baby beets, leave the skin on but halve or quarter them as needed so that they're all about 1 inch thick. If using medium or large beets, peel and cut into 1-inch chunks.
- Fit a steamer basket in a large pot, add water just to the bottom of the basket, and arrange the beets in a snug single layer. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to maintain a vigorous simmer. Cook until the beets are completely tender when pierced with a skewer, about 30 minutes. (Keep an eye on the water level during cooking, and add more if it threatens to dry up.) Remove from the heat and let cool. If you're using baby beets, slip the skins off as soon as they're cool enough to handle.
- Reserving the liquid, remove the onion from the vinegar and add to the beets. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, mustard, honey, 1 tablespoon of the reserved vinegar, and a few big pinches of salt.
- Add the dressing, the parsley, and all but 2 tablespoons of the feta to the beets. Toss well and taste; season with more salt or vinegar as needed. Garnish with a sprinkling of the remaining feta on top.
- Note
- The beautiful hue of beets will stain your hands and clothes. Wear gloves and an apron if pink isn't your color!
- Tip
- Use any color beets you have available; if you choose to use both golden and red beets, toss them with the dressing separately to keep the red beets from staining the yellow ones.
