Ingredients

  • 5 medium red beets
  • 1 lemon juice (about 3-4 Tbsp.)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 shallot , minced
  • 2 green onions , chopped

Instructions

Roast the beets

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Wash beets well and place in an oven-safe dish and cover with foil.
  • Roast beets in oven for 1-2 hours, depending on size. Once done, you should be able to stick a fork or toothpick in easily.
  • Let roasted beets sit for 30 minutes before you remove the skin. Be sure to use a paper towel or gloves to peel off the skin!

Assemble the salad

  • Chop the beets and let marinate in 2 Tbsp. of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for 10 minutes.
  • Toss in the remaining ingredients and stir. Serve cold. Enjoy!

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 pre-cooked beets (I like the brand Love Beets).
