Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Beets

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 45-60 minutes until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Once cooked, let them cool, then peel and cut into bite-sized cubes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the beets are roasting, thinly slice the red onion and set aside. Rinse the arugula and pat dry. If using feta cheese, crumble it into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Toast the Walnuts

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until they are fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 4

    Whisk the Dressing

    In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the dressing is well combined.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted beets, arugula, sliced red onion, and toasted walnuts. If using, add the crumbled feta cheese.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a fresh and vibrant side dish or light main course.
