  3. Step 3: In a large salad bowl, combine 4 cups mixed salad greens with the warm roasted beets.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese, and 1/4 cup toasted chopped walnuts evenly over the top.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately for a fresh, colorful salad that balances sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors.
