- 1 bunch rocket
- 1 lettuce
- 100 g beetroot boiled
- 125 g feta cheese
- 50 g walnut
- 1 orange fresh juice
- 60 ml olive oil
- salt,black pepper
Start by boiling the beets for 15-20 minutes until tender, then peel and cut them into small cubes.
Dice the feta cheese into cubes of similar size to the beets—this way, the salad looks balanced and visually appealing on the plate.
Toast the walnuts in a dry pan until they release their natural oils and become more flavorful.
For the dressing, mix fresh orange juice and olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Tear the lettuce and arugula into bite-sized pieces using your hands, then toss them with the dressing.
Finally, add the diced feta and toasted walnuts. When plating, avoid pressing down the greens—letting them sit light and airy creates a more appealing and appetizing presentation. Enjoy!
Try a Different Cheese for Variety
Feta is a classic choice, but if you want a twist, try goat cheese, blue cheese, or ricotta for a different flavor and texture.
Use a Honey-Balsamic Glaze for Extra Flavor
Instead of a simple dressing, reduce balsamic vinegar with a little honey on the stove for a thick, sweet glaze that pairs perfectly with beets and feta.
Experiment with Fruit
For a touch of sweetness, try adding some fresh orange segments or apple slices to your salad. Both fruits pair beautifully with the earthy taste of beets and will bring extra juiciness and texture.
