Ingredients
✓ 2 medium beets, roasted and diced
✓ 1 cup cucumber, diced
✓ 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
✓ 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
✓ 2 tablespoons olive oil
✓ 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
✓ Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
✓ Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel beets. Trim off any leafy greens. Place on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roast for about 45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Let them cool enough to handle. Chop into small dice.
✓ Slice the cucumber thinly using a mandoline slicer. In a large bowl, combine the diced beets, sliced cucumbers, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped dill. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the mixture. Gently toss until all ingredients are well coated.
✓ Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the salad among serving plates. Sprinkle a little extra dill on top for an added pop of color. Serve immediately while the vegetables are still slightly crisp, ensuring the beets retain their vibrant red hue.
Notes
Ensure the beets are thoroughly cooled before chopping to prevent burning your fingers. Use a mandoline slicer for the cucumbers to achieve uniform thickness.
