Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

Making

Wash, clean, and prepare the mixed greens and beets. Cut the roots and tops of the beets, peel them with a vegetable peeler, and cut them in half. Cut each half into quarters, about ¾ inch in diameter.

Place the beets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add the olive oil and seasoning, toss to coat. Roast the beets at 400 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until they can be easily pierced with a fork.

Combine all of the ingredients in a medium size bowl except the vegetable oil. Slowly drizzle the vegetable oil into the bowl while vigorously whisking.

Place some mixed greens on a plate and top with the roasted beets and feta cheese. Drizzle with the desired amount of vinaigrette.
