Salad Ingredients
Method
Salad Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Beets
Wash the fresh beets thoroughly under running water. Trim the tops and roots off each beet.
- 2
Roast the Beets
Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 45 to 60 minutes until tender. You can check their doneness by inserting a fork. Remove from oven and let them cool.

Peel and Slice the Beets
Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin using your hands or a paper towel. Cut the beets into bite-sized cubes or slices.

Prepare the Salad Base
In a large bowl, add the arugula as the salad base.

Add the Beets and Feta
Gently add the roasted beet cubes and crumbled feta cheese to the arugula in the bowl.

Prepare the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Dress the Salad
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients without bruising the arugula.

Add Walnuts
Sprinkle the walnuts over the top of the salad for added crunch.
