Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole medium beetroots
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the beetroots clean, then wrap each beetroot in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beetroots on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes until they are fork-tender.
Remove the beetroots from the oven and let them cool slightly before peeling off the skins. Wearing gloves can help prevent your hands from staining.
While the beetroots are cooling, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Once peeled, cut the beetroots into wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the dressing over the beetroots and toss gently to coat evenly.
Add the crumbled feta cheese, pumpkin seeds, and fresh parsley to the bowl. Toss lightly to combine.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to a day to let the flavors meld.
