Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Fresh beetroots
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 50 grams Walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Wash the beetroots thoroughly, trim the tops and bottoms, and wrap them individually in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beetroots on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until they are fork tender.
While the beetroots are roasting, crumble the feta cheese into a mixing bowl and set aside.
Roughly chop the walnuts and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once the beetroots are roasted, allow them to cool slightly, then unwrap and peel. The skin should easily slide off.
Cut the peeled beetroots into bite-sized cubes and add them to a large salad bowl.
Add the crumbled feta cheese, toasted walnuts, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the beetroot cubes. Toss everything gently to combine.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad, mixing gently again.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a more chilled salad experience.
