Ingredients
- 4 medium fresh beets
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 50 grams walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and trim the beet tops and roots. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Roast the beets in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 4
While the beets are roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Step 5
Chop the walnuts and toast them in a small pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until they are fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Step 6
Once the beets have cooled enough to handle, peel them by gently rubbing off the skins. The skins should come off easily.
Step 7
Cut the peeled beets into bite-sized cubes and place them in a salad bowl.
Step 8
Crumble the feta cheese and add it to the bowl with the beets.
Step 9
Pour the dressing over the beet and feta mixture, and gently toss to combine.
Step 10
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad along with the toasted walnuts.
Step 11
Serve the beet salad chilled or at room temperature.
