roast veggie salad with feta

i made this tonight, too, and bill and i loved it.  it is also so beautiful on the plate with brilliant red and orange colors  blazing .

you will need:

about 3 carrots, 2 medium beets, a large potato or two medium ones.

method:

prep the veggies, peel the carrots and beets, but leave the skin on the potato.  chop each veg into same size pieces so all will be finished at the same time.

toss in a baking pan with o oil, and salt and pepper.  put into a 400 degree oven and let roast until veggies are golden brown, or in the case of the beets……..until they are tender.

pull out, taste for seasoning, add about 1tsp of thyme and 2-3tbs of lemon juice.  toss gently together and serve with feta cheese crumbled on top.

NOTE:

dont toss the vegetables with the feta…….the beets will turn it a weird dark pink.  still tastes good but isnt so attractive on the plate.

of course, you can choose whatever veggies you and your family like, but do try the beets.  they are so earthy and sweet and really good for us.

i added walnuts to the top as garnish.  i admit, i AM on a walnut kick just now.  they are so full of omega 3 oils and fiber.  and they taste great!

try serving this on a bright white platter…………gorgeous!! :D
