BEET SALAD WITH LEMON DRESSING

ROASTED BEETS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND FETA
This is an amazing recipe for fresh beets, if you don't have any fresh beets you can substitute two 15-ounce cans drained small whole beets, halved or if they are large then quarter them, but I have to say that fresh beets are better! --- for the fresh beets you can boil them or I prefer to roast them in the oven in foil in a 400°F oven for about 30 minutes or until just fork-tender --- this is just as delicious cold as it is served hot! --- prep time does not include roasting the beets and cooking the onions.

- Stir cumin seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 3-4 minutes. Let cool. Finely grind in a spice mill.
- Whisk cumin, lemon juice, vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup oil, then mint. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
- Cook carrots in a large pot of boiling salted water for 1 minute; using a slotted spoon, transfer carrots to a bowl. Add beets to same pot of boiling water and cook until just tender, 20-25 minutes. Drain. Let stand at room temperature to cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Peel and trim beets; halve lengthwise. DO AHEAD: Vinaigrette and vegetables can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately; chill. Return vinaigrette to room temperature and whisk before using.
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Season carrots with salt and pepper. Toss with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil. Arrange on half of a large rimmed baking sheet. Place beets in same bowl; season with salt and pepper and toss with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil. Arrange in single layer opposite carrots on same baking sheet. Roast vegetables, turning once, until slightly charred and just tender, about 15 minutes.

Add 2 tablespoons vinaigrette; toss to coat. Tuck beets in among carrots. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup parsley leaves over. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
Tips:
- Choose tender, young beets - their skin should be smooth and unblemished and about 2-3 inches in diameter. They should also feel firm when squeezed.
- Scrub beets well under running water, do not peel them. For this recipe, smaller beets work best as they cook more quickly and evenly.
- Toss beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting to help them caramelize and brown.
- Use a high oven temperature (400°F) to roast the beets quickly and evenly.
- Roast beets until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 40-50 minutes.
- Allow beets to cool slightly before peeling and slicing them.
- Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice beets thinly and evenly.
- Dress beets immediately so that they absorb the flavors. Toss them with lemon juice, olive oil, honey, and feta cheese.
- Serve beets warm or at room temperature, garnished with chopped parsley and additional feta cheese.
Conclusion:
This simple yet flavorful recipe is a great way to enjoy roasted beets. The lemon, honey and feta dressing adds a nice tanginess and creaminess to the beets. The roasted beets can also be used in salads, sandwiches and wraps. They can also be pickled or canned for later use.
