Preheat the oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F).
Wash and trim the beetroot, leaving the skin on. Wrap each beetroot individually in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beetroot on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the beetroot and cut into bite-sized cubes.
Meanwhile, slice the green onions thinly and roughly chop the fresh parsley and mint.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Add the beetroot cubes to the dressing and toss to coat well.
Crumble the feta cheese over the top, then add the sliced green onions, chopped parsley, and mint. Gently toss to combine.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve immediately or chill slightly in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
