Ingredients

• 4 medium beets
• 100 grams feta cheese
• 1 bunch fresh parsley
• 1 large lemon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

Wash the beets thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Trim the stems and roots off each beet.

Step 3

Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until they are easily pierced with a fork.

Step 5

While the beets are roasting, crumble the feta cheese and set it aside.

Step 6

Chop the parsley finely and place it into a large salad bowl.

Step 7

Once the beets are roasted, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool until they are easy to handle.

Step 8

Peel the beets using your hands or a vegetable peeler. The skins should come off easily when rubbed.

Step 9

Cut the peeled beets into bite-sized wedges or cubes and add them to the salad bowl with the parsley.

Step 10

Juice the lemon and combine it with the olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk well to create the dressing.

Step 11

Drizzle the dressing over the beet and parsley mixture. Toss gently to ensure the beets and parsley are well-coated.

Step 12

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad.

Step 13

Toss the salad lightly again to combine the ingredients.

Step 14

Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.
