Mint Nectarine Beet Salad with White Balsamic Honey Dressing
A unique summer salad packed with great flavors. Fresh mint, beets, and nectarines compliment this white balsamic honey dressing very well! Great dish to impress guests!
For the Salad:
- 3 whole nectarines, de-pitted and sliced thinly
- 1 cup of pickled beets chopped into bite sized pieces (I like pickled beets, but some prefer them roasted, those work too!)
1/2 cup of fresh mint, roughly chopped
6 cups of salad greens (I like mixed greens with spinach)
1/2 cup of toasted pecans, roughly chopped
For the Dressing:
- 1/4 cup of white balsamic vinegar (champagne or white wine vinegar work as well if you're unable to find white balsamic!
- 2 T of honey
- 2 T whole grain mustard
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
In a pan on medium heat, toast chopped pecans until fragrant, remove from heat and allow to cool. Mix together all ingredients in dressing until well combined. Set aside. In a large salad bowl (or you can individually plate), place salad greens. De-pit and slice nectarines. Drain and chop pickled beets. Roughly chop fresh mint. Place all of these on top of salad as well as the toasted pecans and crumbled feta. Drizzle with dressing, toss salad, serve, and enjoy!
