March Recipe!

Arugula Salad with Beets and Feta Cheese

Chef Deborah Spriggs-Ross

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients
Beets - (boiled until a fork easily goes in it, about an hour), peeled, sliced into strips
Fresh Arugula - rinsed, patted dry

Feta cheese

Walnuts - chopped

Dressing ingredients
Olive oil
Lemon
Dry powdered mustard
Sugar
Salt and pepper

Method

The amount of ingredients depends on how many people you are serving and how much salad you intend to serve them. The important thing is that this is a good blend of flavors. I didn't try tossing this salad; each plate was prepared individually.

The dressing amount for four

salads was 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1 lemon, 1/2 teaspoon of powdered mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, sea salt and pepper to taste. Actually, it is all to taste.

These are only approximate measurements.

Assemble the salad according to how much you want. A handful of arugula leaves, a few beet julienne (sliced into strips), some crumbled feta cheese, garnish with chopped walnuts. Use a vinaigrette salad dressing or what I've described above.
