Ingredients
- 4 medium fresh beetroots
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams dairy-free feta cheese
- 100 grams fresh arugula (rocket)
- 50 grams walnuts
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beetroots thoroughly and wrap them individually in aluminum foil. Place them on a baking tray.
Step 3
Roast the wrapped beetroots in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
While the beetroots are roasting, prepare the salad dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, sea salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 5
Once the beetroots are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skins using your hands or a small knife.
Step 6
Cut the peeled beetroots into bite-sized wedges and place them in a mixing bowl.
Step 7
Add the chopped dairy-free feta cheese, arugula, and walnuts to the bowl with the beetroots.
Step 8
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together to combine.
Step 9
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top as a garnish.
Step 10
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
