-Wash and spin dry 1 head of lettuce or 1-2 bunch of arugula and tear into bite size pieces.

-Arrange the lettuce or arugula pieces on a large platter.

-Toast 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds or pine nuts on low heat until lightly browned, stirring often. Be careful not to burn!

-Hard boil 3-4 eggs. (Fill a small sauce pan half full of water and put it on high heat. When boiling, add the eggs. Return the water to a boil, then lower the flame and set a timer for 7 minutes. When timer goes off, carefully pour out the water and run the eggs under cold water until cool enough to handle. Lightly crack the eggs all over and then soak in really cold water for 5 minutes. Start peeling the eggs at the bottom, where there is a little hollow, so that the shell and the membrane underneath will easily come off.)

-Grate the following:

2 peeled Red Ace beets

-Toss together in a bowl with the following:

2 TBS extra virgin olive oil

A big pinch of Celtic sea salt

Some freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup crumbled sheep milk feta

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

The juice of half a lemon
