This winter salad is about bold tastes and vibrant colors. Roasted beets and pomegranate seeds are red and make the bulk of the salad. The green comes from the strong herbs: lime basil, mint, cilantro, arugula and green onions. Soft mild crumbled feta provides texture, contrast and balances sweetness of pomegranate; could be replaced with goat cheese. Roasted pecan and walnuts provide the crunch. Anjana suggested a sour lime and orange dressing, which was almost perfect.
Ingredients:
2 roasted beets sliced : wrap in foil and bake at 400F for 40 minutes
Seeds from 1 pomegranate
2-3 green onions chopped (1/4 inch pieces)
Few springs of lime basil and cilantro (chopped)
1-2 oz soft feta cheese
Handful of roasted pecans and walnuts (chopped)
Dressing: juice from 1/2 lime and 1/2 orange with 2 tbsp olive oil and salt/pepper to taste
Mix everything in your favorite salad bowl and put the dressing in the end.
