Beet & Lettuce Salad With Green Onion Vinaigrette

• 8 ounces lettuce, roughly chopped
• 1 large beet, roasted and sliced as thinly as possible
• 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
• 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

1. Combine chopped lettuce, sliced beet, pumpkin seeds and goat cheese in a large bowl.
2. Combine green onion, lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper in a food processor or Vitamix; while blending, slowly drizzle in olive oil until the mixture emulsifies and becomes the consistency of a vinaigrette. Salt and pepper to taste.
3. Drizzle dressing on lettuce bowl; toss; taste and add more dressing until the salad tastes the way you want it. We used about half the dressing (and are saving the rest in the fridge for later).
