Instructions
Making Beet Salad with Feta and Cucumbers is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Beets: Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.
3. Roast the Beets: Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
4. Cool the Beets: Once cooked, remove the beets from the oven and let them cool for about 15 minutes.
5. Peel the Beets: Once cool enough to handle, unwrap the beets and peel off the skin using your hands; it should come off easily.
6. Cut the Beets: Slice the peeled beets into bite-sized pieces or wedges.
7. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sliced beets, diced cucumber, crumbled feta, and red onion.
8. Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
9. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated.
10. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh parsley or mint for an added burst of flavor and color.
This simple process will yield a colorful and delicious Beet Salad with Feta and Cucumbers that is sure to impress.
