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
- Combine chopped lettuce, sliced beet, pumpkin seeds and goat cheese in a large bowl.
- 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.
- 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).
