Description

A delicious beet salad loaded with nutrients, featuring roasted beets, creamy feta cheese, and refreshing cucumbers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized Beets
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese
  • 1 large Cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
  • a handful Fresh Dill
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets, trim the tops, wrap in foil, and roast for about 45 minutes.
  2. While the beets are roasting, wash and slice the cucumber thinly.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  4. Once the beets are cooled and peeled, slice into wedges and combine with cucumber and crumbled feta in a mixing bowl.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss without breaking the feta.
  6. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy immediately or let chill for 30 minutes.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute feta with a vegan cheese alternative. Use quinoa for added protein and fiber, or sweet potatoes for a twist.
