Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Beetroot
- 150 grams Feta cheese
- 100 grams Arugula
- 50 grams Walnuts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the beetroot, leaving about 1 inch of stem. Wrap each beetroot in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beetroots on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the beetroots are roasting, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant. Set them aside to cool.
Once the beetroots are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Use a paper towel to rub off the skins.
Cut the peeled beetroots into bite-sized wedges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, roasted beetroot wedges, toasted walnuts, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad.
Serve immediately or chill for a short time before serving. Enjoy your refreshing beetroot salad with feta cheese!
