Whenever I share a beetroot recipe on my blog I get mixed comments. Some of my readers share that they hate beetroot and some share that they love it and request more easy beetroot recipes. So, today’s recipe is for my beetroot-loving readers- a Mediterranean-style Beetroot and feta salad. The deliciousness of this beet salad comes from the amazing combination of sweet beets, salty and creamy feta cheese, crunchy roasted walnuts, and the freshness of dill and lemon.
Ingredient notes
Step 2: Put beet cubes in a pan and add around a cup of water. Step 3: Cover the pan and cook covered for around 45 minutes. Strain the beets if any extra water is left in the pan or cook for a few extra minutes until the whole water gets evaporated. Keep the cooked beet cubes aside and let them reach room temperature. Step 4: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and a little salt to make salad dressing. Step 5: Take a large salad bowl. Put the beet cubes, toasted walnuts, feta cubes, and chopped dill into the bowl. Pour salad dressing over them. Step 6: Toss. Check and adjust the seasoning.
