RECIPE

BEET PANZANELLA SALAD

I love interesting salads, and my take on a classic panzanella (bread salad) switches up ingredients, including substituting tomatoes with roasted beets. Beets are offered this week from Mattawoman Creek Farms and salad greens come from New Earth Farm on Saturday. 

Preheat oven to 425F. Peel and cut into 3/4-inch cubes four beets and, in a medium bowl, toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Spread beets evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with a bit of coarse salt. Bake 10-20 minutes, or until beets are fork-tender. Set aside to cool.

Cut a half of a loaf of bread into 3/4-inch thick slices, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and place in oven under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely. As soon as the tops turn brown, turn bread, brush with oil, and broil 1-2 minutes, or until golden. Remove, allow to cool, and cut into cubes.

In a large bowl, add beets, bread, 2 cups salad greens, juice from one lemon, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 8 ounces of crumbled feta cheese. Toss, sprinkle on coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, garnish with fresh oregano, and serve.
