Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups roasted beets
- 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wrap your beets in aluminum foil and roast for 45-60 minutes, until fork-tender. Alternatively, you can steam them for about 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, peel the beets and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to create thin, even slices of cucumber.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar or lemon juice, and optional honey or maple syrup. Season generously with salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the sliced beets, cucumber, and fresh dill. Drizzle your dressing over the top and toss everything lightly to coat.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top and serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours before serving.
Notes
This salad can be made ahead of time; just keep the dressing separate until ready to serve for optimal freshness.
