Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Wash the beets thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Cut off the greens and root ends, then peel the beets using a vegetable peeler.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beets

    Place the peeled beets in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 30-40 minutes until tender. You can test doneness by piercing them with a fork. Once cooked, drain and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Chop the Beets

    Once the beets are cool enough to handle, chop them into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cilantro

    Rinse the fresh cilantro under cold water. Shake off excess water and roughly chop the leaves.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Mix the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped beets, fresh cilantro, and feta cheese.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Drizzle the dressing over the beet mixture and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
