Greetings, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a delightful recipe for a Roasted Beetroot and Feta Salad that’s perfect for a light summer lunch or as a colorful side dish for any occasion. The vibrant colors and fresh flavors of this salad always put me in a good mood.

For this recipe, you’ll need:

• 3 medium-sized beetroot (approx. 300g)
• 100g feta cheese, crumbled
• 50g walnuts, chopped
• 100g arugula
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

To prepare this delectable salad, start by preheating your oven to 200°C. Wash the beetroot thoroughly and peel them. Cut the beetroot into small cubes and place them on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes until tender.

While the beetroot is roasting, toast the chopped walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar to make the dressing.

Once the beetroot is tender, allow it to cool slightly before assembling the salad. In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted beetroot, crumbled feta cheese, toasted walnuts, and arugula. Drizzle with the dressing and gently toss to combine.

Serve the Roasted Beetroot and Feta Salad on a platter and enjoy the explosion of flavors and textures in every bite. This salad is a perfect balance of sweet, earthy beetroot, creamy feta cheese, crunchy walnuts, peppery arugula, and tangy balsamic dressing.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 550g, with 4 servings at approximately 137g each. One serving of this salad contains around 250 calories.

A clever tip for this salad is to add a sprinkle of fresh mint leaves before serving to give it an extra burst of freshness and aroma.
