Roasted beet salad
Preheat oven to 375˚F.
Wrap whole beets individually in aluminum foil and roast in preheated oven for about 1 hour or until tender. Once cool, peel and cut beets into wedges and set aside.
Place mushrooms on a pan lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 2 tbsp oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, thyme, and garlic. Roast for 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, honey, and remaining oil, salt, and pepper. Add beets, mushrooms, and pine nuts and coat with dressing.
To serve, divide mixed greens among serving plates and top with beet mixture. Sprinkle with feta cheese.
