Ingredients

500 g raw beetroot
½ cup feta I used vegan
½ cup walnuts
1 small handful fresh dill
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Firstly, cut the stems off of the beetroot and place in cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes. We want the beetroot tender and not too soft so you want a little resistance when running a knife through them.
Now in a small bowl/jar mix together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic powder, finely chopped dill and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the beetroot is tender, drain and add to a bowl of cold water and allow to rest until they are cooled. Now rub with your hands to remove any skin (this should come off easily).
Slice the beetroot into quarters (TIP: I do this with a bit of baking paper on top of a chopping board to stop it staining the board).
Add the chopped beetroot to a large salad bowl. Along with the walnuts and the dill dressing. Toss to combine and finally top with the crumbled feta and it’s ready to serve.

Tip:

If tight on time and want to speed up the boiling process, slice the beetroot into quarters before boiling and boil for 15-20 minutes.
