Ingredients
- 4 medium fresh beetroot
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup feta cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup walnuts (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing and trimming the beetroot to remove any dirt and greens.
Step 2
Place the beetroots in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil the beetroots for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 3
Once cooked, drain the beetroots and let them cool enough to handle. Peel the skin off, which should come off easily after boiling.
Step 4
Chop the cooked and peeled beetroot into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Finely chop the fresh parsley and dice the red onion, then add both to the bowl with the beetroot.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the beetroot mixture and toss to coat everything evenly.
Step 8
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Before serving, garnish with crumbled feta cheese and walnuts, if using.
Step 10
Serve chilled, and enjoy your refreshing sugar-free beetroot salad!
