It’s Father’s Day and my kids have taken up the kitchen, or should I say the grill not that I’m complaining. They decided to make grilled chicken and corn which their father loves. They also made a delicious beets salad. It’s a beautiful Sunday, I hope you enjoyed it to the fullest.
Roasted Beets Salad
Ingredients
4 beets
¼ cup of feta cheese
¼ cup sliced almonds
1 tbsp chopped parsley
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tbsp lemon juice
1tbsp aged red wine vinegar
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp of brown sugar
Salt and pepper
Preparation
Wash the beets and cut off their stems. Wrap them in aluminum foil after drizzling with olive oil. Bake at 425°F for 45 minutes to an hour until tender. Let them cool, then peel and cut them into bite sizes.
In a medium bowl, combine (olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, brown sugar, parsley, salt, and pepper). Toss together beets, vinaigrette, feta cheese, and almonds until everything is combined well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
This salad is colorful, simple and delicious. I hope you like it.
You know, I’ve never actually tried a beet. They look so pretty and colorful, though! We wanted to grill yesterday but it’s been raining for two days now in Houston, so we ended up cooking some frozen pizza last minute!
Stephanie, I love beets, when I was younger, my mom used to make beets and carrots juice, the best.
Oh, I am so trying this! I love beet salad, which is shocking to me! I think beets have come a long way from those gross jiggly ones in cans that we grew up with. This looks delicious!
Lois, I love them and find when I roasted them, they are tastier.
Definitely making this! I love beets so much 🙂
Hope you like it, Yaroslava!
This would be nice as a side salad dish at the bb10 for sure. Very purple pink and pretty x
So true, Melanie.
I’ve never been a fan of beets, but I like how the ingredients mingle together and work together. The pictures look appetizing.
Thanks, Kayla.
That’s so sweet of them! And it looks delicious. We love beets but have not tried roasting them. Something new to try soon!
They are tastier and sweeter when you roast them, Joline.
This sounds so yummy. I have never roasted a beet and never had it in a salad! Definitely something to try this summer.
They will put some color on your table, Angela.
I love roated beets they are so delicious and feeling! I will try this recipe for sure! The only thing is I absolutely hate beet stains! What a pain ha?
I hear you, Chelf, imagine your tablecloth and everything else.
Love beet salad but never had it with feta, even when I was vegetarian. I love beet salad with kale or other steamed greens. The sweetness of the beets paired with the bitter greens is perfect!
This is a chef comment right there, Di.
I love beet salad, but this one looks even more cool. I love the diced bits because it looks like it blends so well together!!
Thanks, Nikki!
my family is a fan of eating beets, not only are they good for you but the fresh beet produce (not can) is yummy! I will have to try this recipe out, thanks!
Same here, try and let me know, Eloise.
we are getting so many beets from our garden right now! this recipe is perfect! love feta and almonds!
Send some over here, Ananda!
I am not a fan of beets but I think my husband would love this. Plus, it is so simple to prepare.
It is, one of my brothers does not eat beets, because they stain his teeth, lol. Hope your husband likes it, Ruth.
This is such an easy recipe to follow. I love beets I would definitely give this a try!
It is simple and delicious, Evelyn!
