Today’s Recipe: Roasted Beet and Grapefruit Salad

Hello, foodies! I’m excited to share a refreshing and vibrant dish with you today. This Roasted Beet and Grapefruit Salad is perfect for bringing a burst of color and flavor to any meal. The combination of earthy roasted beets with tangy grapefruit is truly a match made in culinary heaven. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 3 medium beets (about 300g)
• 2 large grapefruits
• 100g arugula
• 50g feta cheese, crumbled
• 50g walnuts, chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp honey
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• aluminum foil
• knife
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• citrus juicer

To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets thoroughly and wrap them individually in aluminum foil. Place the foil-wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Once roasted, let the beets cool slightly before peeling and slicing them into thin rounds.

While the beets are roasting, prepare the grapefruit. Cut off the top and bottom of each grapefruit, then slice off the peel and pith. Segment the grapefruit by slicing between the membranes to release the segments into a bowl. Squeeze any remaining juice from the membranes into a separate bowl to use for the dressing.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the grapefruit juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

In a large bowl, combine the arugula, roasted beet slices, grapefruit segments, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Top the salad with chopped walnuts for added crunch.
