Tomato-Beet Salad - Everyday Food with Sarah Carey

All week long, I've been cooking up recipes that highlight the bright flavors of summer. Today's meal is not only seasonal, it's also beautiful! A raw-tomato and roasted-beet salad is dotted with feta cheese and fresh mint -- the combination is sweet, sharp, and wonderfully refreshing. I used a mixture of red and yellow heirloom tomatoes to add even more vibrancy to this dish, but use any variety that's available to you -- and make this gorgeous plate tonight!
Sarah's Tip of the Day:
Don't toss those beet greens! Wash and cook them just as you would spinach, kale, or any leafy vegetable (better yet, combine a few different varieties for a brand-new side dish).
