Beets - Beets are loaded with vitamins and minerals and low in calories and fat. They also contain inorganic nitrates and pigments, both of which have a number of health benefits. Also, beets are a good source of fiber, which is beneficial for digestive health.
 
Tofu - Tofu is the most common source of protein in most vegan diets. Tofu is low in calories but high in protein and fat which make it a great substitute to use in main course dishes. It also contains many important vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, manganese, selenium and iron.
 
Almond - Almonds are among the world’s best sources of vitamin E, they are also high in healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, protein and other important nutrients.

Ingredients:

 Instructions:
  1. Heat the oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  2. Wash the beets well and place on the baking trey. Roast for approx. 2 hours. The beets are ready when a knife goes in very very easily.
  3. Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool down completely.
  4. Peel the beets (you might want to wear gloves while working with the beets, to prevent your hand from turning purple).
  5. Using a sharp knife, slice the beets as thin and as even as you can and place the slices in a container.
  6. Prepare the seasoning sauce: Place the vinegar, maple, olive oil, salt, pepper, and the pomegranate concentrate in a mixing bowl.
  7. Cut one of the oranges, squeeze one half of the 1 orange and add the orange juice to the bowl.
  8. Peel the rest of the of the oranges, cut to small pieces (take care for seeds), add to the container with the beets.
  9. Mix the seasoning well and pour on top of the beets and oranges.
  10. Transfer the beets with the sauce into a sealed container and let it rest for a minimum of 6 hours and up to 48 hours (The beets actually taste better when left to rest for a long time).
  11. Roast the almonds: In a heated small pan, roast the slices for 5 minutes, mixing well to prevent burning. Remove the slices immediately when they turn gold. 
  12. After the beets have rested and seasoned for a while, choose a flat plate for serving. Take out single slices of beet and place on the plate.
  13. Place a few oranges slices on top.
  14. Place the salad mix on top, sprinkle a little bit of the seasoning sauce on the salad.
  15. Crumble up the feta and add it to the plate along with the roasted sliced almonds.
