The growing season is here, but it is still early in the year and locally grown produce is just starting to hit the markets. The hot temperatures are also finally here, and I decided that I wanted a wholesome salad with my favorite root vegetable. Beets are a good and nourishing choice no matter the time of year, especially when paired with feta cheese and a delightful vinaigrette served over some mixed greens. A choice crusty bread, slathered in butter, is an ideal accompaniment.
Such a treat to eat outside in the warmth after such a cruel winter.

ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome. I love beets. Thanks for a new idea for a salad!
ReplyDeleteFeta and beetroot are a beautiful combination. I used to make a bulghur salad with beetroots, feta and orange zest and juice, so probably I'll twist this by adding a bit of citrus in the dressing. Ideal summer salad, really.
ReplyDeleteI love feta in salads - especially such ones with minimal ingredients. Looks fresh and inviting for the summer.
