Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wipe or scrub the beets clean, then trim the stems down to one-inch, leaving the “tails” on.
Place the beets on a large piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Wrap the foil around the beets to form a neat packet, then roast directly on a rack in the middle of the oven until tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Unwrap the beets and let sit until cool enough to handle. Peel the beets by rubbing the skin under cool running water, then cut into 1/8-inch thin slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and red wine vinegar. Toss beets, citrus, and dressing together in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a serving platter and
Drizzle the juices from the bowl over top.
Sprinkle feta, walnuts and scallions over top and serve.
