Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beetroot
- 150 grams vegan feta cheese
- 100 grams arugula
- 50 grams walnut halves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the beetroots thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and roots, then wrap each beetroot separately in aluminum foil and place them on a baking tray.
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the beetroots are roasting, prepare the dressing by combining the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk together until well emulsified and set aside.
Once the beetroots are cooked, let them cool slightly before peeling them. The skins should slide off easily when rubbed with a paper towel. Cut the beetroots into bite-sized wedges or slices.
In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted beetroot, arugula, and walnut halves.
Crumble the vegan feta cheese over the salad mixture.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well coated.
Sprinkle with fresh dill for garnish before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh vegan beetroot salad with feta cheese.
