This beet salad with feta is easy to make for a colorful and elegant side dish. I love making this with beets and shallots straight from our local farmers’ market.
Ingredients
- 4 beets, trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
- ¼ cup minced shallot
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place onto a baking sheet.
Step 2
Bake beets in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow beets to cool until you can handle them. Peel beets and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
Step 3
While beets are roasting, whisk shallots, parsley, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and red wine vinegar together in a bowl until blended; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Step 4
Place warm, sliced beets onto a serving dish; pour vinaigrette over the beets and sprinkle with feta cheese.
Tips
Green onions or chives may be substituted for the shallot if you prefer.
