Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Arugula

    Rinse the fresh arugula leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off excess water and place the leaves in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Walnuts

    If using raw walnuts, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes until fragrant. Let cool and chop coarsely.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Beets

    Peel the cooked beets and slice them into thin rounds or cubes, depending on your preference. Add them to the salad bowl.

  4. 4

    Add Feta Cheese

    Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the salad.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Dressing

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

Combine and Serve

  1. 6

    Toss the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the arugula salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the arugula salad immediately as a refreshing side dish or a light main course.
