Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place the 2 beets in a pot, cover with water, and boil until fork-tender, about 30-40 minutes. Drain, cool, then peel and slice into thin rounds.

  2. Step 2

    While beets cook, peel and shred the 2 carrots using a box grater. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 0.5 tsp salt to make the dressing.

  4. Step 4

    In a large bowl, combine the 4 cups mixed greens, shredded carrots, sliced beets, and 1 cup cooked black lentils.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly.

  6. Step 6

    Crumble the 0.5 cup feta cheese over the top and serve immediately.
