Beet and Strawberry Salad With Feta and Honey Balsamic @einavhakounfood

4 servings | 40 minutes

3 medium red beets
2 cups arugula leaves
2 cups romaine/iceberg, torn into bite-size pieces
1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup roasted almonds or hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
1 small red chili, thinly sliced (optional)
1/3 cup feta

Dressing:
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey or maple
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Place the beets in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower to a simmer and cook until the beets are tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain, let cool, peel, and dice into ½-inch/1.25 cm cubes.

In a large bowl, combine the arugula, lettuce, strawberries, beets, onion, most of the roasted nuts, and chili if using.

In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the reduced balsamic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, black pepper, and salt until emulsified.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl, scatter the remaining nuts and cheese on top, and serve immediately.
