Simple Feta Beet salad
Simple beet salad for getting some vegetables in this week
Prep time: 5 minutes
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients:
1 pack of prepared beets, about 8oz
2 tbsp of extra Virgin olive oil
2-4 tbsp of crumbled Feta cheese
(Optional) Diced fresh parsley leaves, about 3 stalks worth
Small sprinkle of salt, about 1/2 tsp
Cooking Tools:
Bowl for mixing everything together
Directions :
Dice the beets into 1 inch cubes. Add to a serving bowl.
Crumble feta on top, top with chopped parsley, and drizzle olive oil. Lastly, sparingly sprinkle salt over the dish. I used salt flakes and crumbled them a bit in my hand while sprinkling.
Mix, serve, and enjoy!
Cooking Tip:
this is one dish were using salt flakes does make a difference in the flavor of the dish. I would highly recommend it if you have it on hand to use instead of salt grains.
Stay healthy with Annie:
Though beets taste so much better fresh, sometimes we just don’t have the time to process, roast, peel, and prepare the beet.
I typically keep a couple packages of prepared beets on hand, to whip up a quick veggie side when we have feta around.
High in folate to help with healthy red blood cell formation along with a healthy dose of iron, beets are high in antioxidants and great for the colder autumn and winter months as a warming food for the body. Just don’t be alarmed when it turns your urine pink - it means the antioxidants are effectively traveling through your body!
