Ingredients

• 4 medium red onions
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 6 cups mixed salad greens
• 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 0.5 cup toasted walnuts
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the red onions and cut them into thick wedges, about 6-8 wedges per onion.

Step 3

Place the onion wedges on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Roast the onions in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

While the onions are roasting, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Step 6

On a serving platter or in a large salad bowl, arrange the mixed salad greens.

Step 7

When the onions are done roasting, let them cool for 5 minutes, then scatter them on top of the mixed greens.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and toasted walnuts over the salad.

Step 9

Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the salad just before serving and toss gently to combine.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Roasted Onion Salad!
