How to Make Beet Salad

Step 1: Roast the Beets
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 40 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. After roasting, allow them to cool, then peel off the skin and slice them into thin rounds or wedges.

Step 2: Prepare the Salad Base
In a large bowl, toss together mixed greens with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. This creates a simple, flavorful base for the salad.

Step 3: Assemble the Salad
Arrange the roasted beets on top of the tossed greens. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the beets and greens. This will add a creamy, tangy element to the salad.

Step 4: Serve or Chill
Serve the salad immediately or place it in the refrigerator to chill for a refreshing, cool option. The flavors develop nicely when chilled.

Optional Variations:

  • Add walnuts, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds for extra crunch.
  • Swap the feta cheese for goat cheese or blue cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Add fresh herbs like mint or parsley for extra freshness.
