Ingredients
- 3 large fresh beets
- 150 grams dairy-free feta cheese
- 1 cup walnuts
- 4 cups arugula
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beets thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Cut off the greens if attached, leaving about an inch of stems.
Step 3
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
Allow the beets to cool slightly, then peel the skins off by rubbing them with your fingers or a paper towel.
Step 5
Cut the beets into bite-sized wedges or slices as desired.
Step 6
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 8
Place the arugula in a large salad bowl. Add the beets and walnuts, then crumble the dairy-free feta over the salad.
Step 9
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.
