Healthy Beet & Feta Salad

Carrot Apple Beet Juice). The menu description for their salad reads: “Mixed greens and arugula tossed with Blue Lemon Vinaigrette,  roasted red and yellow beets, feta cheese, candied pecans, sweet and sour red onions and carrots.” Sounds simple enough?

I went right to work recreating this delicious salad and couldn’t be happier with the results. I love EVERY component (although the Maple Candied Pecans may be my favorite). The IKEA SKYN serving bowl was a beautiful addition to my clean & modern style dinner table. Accompanied with the IKEA GRIPANDE 2-piece bamboo salad server set, it’s an excellent pairing for this salad or any other salad you may be serving.
