Mixed Greens with Roasted Beets & Caramelized Onions

Ingredients
 

Salad

  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 4 medium to large firm beets 6 for smaller beets, remove stems and roots
  • 1/4 cup goat cheese crumbled
  • 1/8 cup pistachios shelled and chopped
  • Balsamic Vinaigrette for dressing

Caramelized Onions

  • 1 large Onion halved and thinly sliced into long strips
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

To start the salad:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Put beets on a large piece of aluminum foil. Fold aluminum foil and crimp all sides closed. Medium large beets should cook for an hour, if you are using smaller beets 25-35 minutes for cooking.

To make the caramelized onions:

  • Melt butter in saucepan, add in olive oil over medium heat. Add in onions. Let saute for about 5-7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low. Cook for about 35-40 minutes letting the onions turn golden brown, stirring occasionally so they don't burn. Remove from heat.

To finish the salad:

  • Remove beets from oven, and open aluminum foil. Let cool. Remove the skins with a paper towel (or you will have bright pink hands) and discard skins. Coarsely chop beets.
  • Toss mixed greens, pistachios, goat cheese, caramelized onions, beets and balsamic vinaigrette together.
