7 Ingredient Roasted Beets with Feta Salad
Flavorful Spring Salad! 7-Ingredient Roasted Beet and Feta Salad is one for the books!
Ingredients
- 5 red beets
- 1 lemon (juice)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1/4 cup EVOO
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 shallot minced
- 2 green onions chopped
Instructions
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Wash beets well and place in a oven safe dish and cover with foil. Roast beets in oven for 1-2 hours, depending on size. You should be able to stick a fork or toothpick in easily. Let sit for 30 minutes before you remove the skin. Be sure to use a paper towel to remove the skin!
-
Dice up the beets and let marinate in 2 Tbsp. of the EVOO and balsamic vinegar for 10 minutes. Then toss in remaining ingredients and stir. Serve cold. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Beets are like sponges - they soak everything up! This is why I let the beets marinate for a few minutes in the olive oil to get extra tasty!
You may also use parsley instead of green onions as a substitute!
Also - if you don't have time to roast the beets, you can buy baby beets or cooked beets (I like the brand Love Beets).

Beautiful photos! I adore beets, so this one is definitely getting added to the line-up for Spring.
Thank you! Enjoy 🙂
What a beautiful salad! It looks gorgeous and full of favour.
Thank you! 🙂 It’s packed with flavor!
Beets and goat cheese is one of my favorite flavor combos, but love them with feta too. Such a pretty salad!
I’ll have to try with goat cheese next! Thank you Jessica 🙂
This seriously looks divine! My beet lovin’ hubby will dig this too-can’t wait to make it for both of us 🙂
YAY I hope you guys like it! Thank you 🙂
I love how sweet beets get when roasted! Feta sounds great in here!
Thank you!:)
I’m confused, what do you do with the lemon? Are you using only the juice?
Yes I used only the juice, may use some zest if you like as well!
Sounds delicious! I plan on trying the recipe tonight.
Wonderful! I hope you like it 🙂
I just made this tonight for dinner and my husband and I really liked it. The beets were so soft and sweet after roasting them for 2 hours. We tried peeling the skins off with a paper towel but that didn’t work so we just used a potato peeler. Next time I will use less balsamic vinegar since I’m not a big fan of the taste but other than that, it was good!
Good to know about the paper towel method! Thanks for much for trying out the recipe!! I’m happy you and the hubby enjoyed 🙂
Ok, this salad. I can’t wait to make it! It looks so freaking good, pinning for later!
