Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
Wash and peel the beets. Trim the base and top of each beet, then cut into approximately 1/4 - 1/2 inch cubes. 
Place the cut beets on the prepared baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss gently to coat and arrange the beets in one layer. 
Roast the beets for 20 minutes. Give them a toss, then bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until beets are tender enough to pierce with a fork. Prepare the dressing while they bake. 
Add all of the dressing ingredients, except the salt and pepper, into a mason jar. Top with a lid and shake vigorously.
Taste the dressing and season with salt and pepper as desired. 
Assemble the salad by tossing the mixed greens with the dressing.
Top with the roasted beets, pomegranate areils, feta cheese, and seeds. Enjoy!
