Instructions

1. Combine the lettuces, bell pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, and onion in a large salad bowl.

2. In small bowl, whisk the vinegar and Dijon together. Gradually whisk in the oil to emulsify and season with 1.4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Toss the salad with the vinaigrette and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Ingredient Note

If you can’t find baby beets, bigger ones will do if you peel them and cut them into smaller pieces. The beets may be stored in the jar for up to 4 days.
