Roasted Beet Salad

Ingredients
4 small, orange beets, peeled and quartered
1 tsp. dried thyme leaves
2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
2 cups mixed, baby greens
1 Tbsp green onions, chopped
1 Tbsp white balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions
Toss beets with 1 Tbsp olive oil and the dried thyme; roast at 350°F until tender, about an hour.  Remove from oven and cool completely (can be done the day before and kept in the fridge until needed).

In a separate bowl, whisk remaining olive oil and white balsamic vinegar; pour over salad, sprinkle grated Parmesan over top and serve with a crusty roll.
