Ingredients

• 3 medium beetroots (about 300g)
• 1 cup blackberries (about 150g)
• 100g feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• Handful of fresh mint leaves
• Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lemon, zest and juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• small skillet
• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• zester

Preparation

Start by preheating your oven to 200°C. Scrub the beetroots, trim the tops, and wrap them individually in foil. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Let them cool slightly before peeling and cutting them into wedges.

In a small skillet, toast the walnuts over medium heat until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Make sure not to burn them. Set aside to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the beetroots, blackberries, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted walnuts. Add in the fresh mint leaves and drizzle with olive oil. Squeeze in the lemon juice, zest the lemon over the salad, and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together gently to mix well.

Serving

Transfer the salad to a serving dish and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite!

Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of sumac or a touch of honey to the salad before serving. These small additions will elevate the taste profile and leave your guests impressed.
