Beet and Feta Salad

My goodness I can not believe we are approaching Labor day weekend already! To think we only have about 2 months left (as always weather pending) of the market! Rumor has it we will be have a very warm fall! So this salad will be wonderfully refreshing.

4-5 beets, trimmed and cleaned
evoo
s/p
1 sprig rosemary, finely minced
1/4 c lemon marmalade
4 oz JFF Feta Cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees f. Place beets in a roasting pan, drizzle with oil, season with s/p and rosemary. Roast for 45-50 or until fork tender. Allow to cool enough to handle. Peel off skin. Cut into slices, then into strips. Place in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl whisk together marmalade and 1/3 evoo. Season with black pepper. Pour over still warm beets. Allow the beets to cool to room temperature. Crumble feta and toss with beet mixture.
