Beet And Feta Salad Recipes

ROASTED BEETS WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil, and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake beets in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once done, remove from oven, and allow to cool until you can handle them. Peel beets, and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
• While the beets are roasting, whisk together shallot, parsley, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and red wine vinegar in a bowl until blended; season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• To assemble the dish, place the warm, sliced beets onto a serving dish, pour vinaigrette over the beets, and sprinkle with feta cheese before serving.

ROASTED BEETS WITH FETA

Steps:

• Peel 4 medium beets and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste on a baking sheet. Roast at 450 degrees F, stirring once or twice, until tender, 35 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; toss with 4 chopped scallions and 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Top with crumbled feta.

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH PECANS AND FETA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel the beets, chop off the stems, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a bowl and toss with the oil, balsamic, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, if desired. Transfer the beets to the baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes, until fork-tender. Set aside to cool.
• Combine the oil, balsamic, lemon, maple syrup, salt, pepper, dijon, and garlic in a jar. Secure the lid and shake to combine.
• Place the greens in a salad bowl. Top with the cranberries, pecans, feta, and roasted beets. Toss to combine and drizzle the dressing over individual portions. (This prevents the salad from becoming soggy.) If using kale, the method is slightly different because you'll need to massage the kale with the dressing. Chop the kale, place it in a bowl, and pour the dressing over top. Using your hands, "massage" the dressing into the kale until the leaves are bright green and tender. Then proceed with adding the cranberries, pecans, feta, and beets to the kale.

BEET AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• In a salad bowl, combine beets, celery and dressing. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Add torn lettuce and toss well. Sprinkle feta over top and serve immediately.

BEET SALAD WITH ARUGULA AND BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Line the bottom of a medium rimmed baking sheet with foil. Wrap each beet tightly in a sheet of foil and arrange lined baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until largest beet is easily pierced. Unwrap beets and cool to room temperature then peel the skins (see Pro Tip Below*) and slice into halves and then wedges.
• Toast 1/2 cup pecans on a dry skillet, tossing frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Transfer arugula to a large mixing bowl then add remaining salad ingredients: sliced beets, feta cheese, toasted pecans and dried cranberries.
• In a small mason jar, combine all dressing ingredients and shake well to combine. Drizzle over salad to taste. If not serving salad right away, shake the dressing again just before drizzling over salad.

BEET AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Quarter beets and put on a plate. Whisk together lemon juice and salt in a small bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until combined well. Season dressing with pepper and spoon 1 tablespoon over beets. Marinate 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle feta over beets. Just before serving, toss greens with remaining dressing and mound alongside beets.
