Marinated Beets and Greens Salad with Sunflower Seeds

Greens and beets and dried apricots and sunflower seeds makes this an irresistible salad.

Gorgeous mixed leafy greens from the CSA...

and beets...

Marinated Beets: 
2 cups grated beets
1 small shallot, sliced (optional)
¼ cup chopped dried apricots
4 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoon honey
4 Tablespoon olive oil
salt to taste

Plus 6 cups packed torn leafy greens for tossing in

Combine the marinated beets ingredients and allow to sit and develop flavors for about 20 minutes or more. Usually, I start the beets marinating and then cook the main dish for the dinner, then, throw the salad green into the marinated beets, sprinkle generously with sunflower seeds and serve.
