Beet Salad with Oranges and Feta

A vibrant salad featuring roasted beets, juicy oranges, and creamy feta, drizzled with a zesty dressing for a delightful flavor experience.

Ingredients

  • Roasted Beets
  • Oranges
  • Feta Cheese
  • Olive Oil
  • Lemon Juice
  • Salt and Black Pepper
  • Fresh Herbs (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Roast the Beets: Wrap the whole beets in foil and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (about 45-60 minutes) until tender. Once cool, peel off the skins—gloves make this easier.
  2. Segment the Oranges: Carefully slice the rind off the oranges and segment them into bite-sized pieces; set aside to trap their juicy essence.
  3. Crumble the Feta Cheese: Use your fingers or a fork to crumble the feta into a bowl, creating delightful, creamy morsels.
  4. Prepare the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to your liking.
  5. Assemble the Salad: In a serving dish, artfully arrange the roasted beets, orange segments, and crumbled feta.
  6. Drizzle with Dressing: Gently pour the dressing over your salad, then toss lightly to combine, ensuring all ingredients share the flavors.
  7. Garnish: For an extra touch, sprinkle some fresh herbs on top just before serving.

Notes

Make the salad ahead by roasting beets in advance. For variations, consider swapping feta with goat cheese or including nuts for added crunch.
