Beet Salad

3 organic beets
Olive oil
2 organic carrots, shredded
1/2 organic cucumber, sliced
1/2 cup organic snap peas or snow peas (tips removed)
Leaf lettuce

1/4 organic lemon (juice of)
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Brush the beets with olive oil and bake them at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes.  Allow them to cool and then slice them into strips.  Prepare the carrots, cucumber and peas and mix them in a bowl with the beets.  Combine all dressing ingredients and whisk until well blended.  Add the dressing to the vegetables and stir.  Serve over a bed of leaf lettuce and top with feta cheese.
