Golden Beet and Hazelnut Salad
Valentina P
Tender roasted beet combined with salty feta, hazelnuts, arugula, and a simple olive oil vinaigrette. It's hard not to love. Roasting the beets takes a little time in the oven, but the fresh taste is far better than the pre-packaged varieties.

Shopping List
-
For the Salad
- 3 large yellow (or red) beets (about 12 to 16 ounces total)
- 1 handful arugula
- 33333333/100000000 cup hazelnuts or Marcona almonds
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, cubed (or plant-based feta recipe) For the Vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 410 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 2: Cut off any top stems on the beets and peel the bulbs (any beet greens can also be cooked in a pan like spinach). Halve or quarter the beets so that each piece is about the size of a lime. Wrap each beet piece individually in foil and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Step 3: Roast the beets until they are fork tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully unwrap, and cool. Cut the cooled beets into 1 inch pieces.
- Step 4: Meanwhile, toast the hazelnuts or almonds in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until fragrant. Shake the pan regularly to avoid burning. Transfer the toasted nuts to a mixing bowl.
- Step 5: Transfer the toasted nuts to a mixing bowl. Add the chopped beets, arugula, feta cheese, olive oil, and apple vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Serve: Enjoy. This is best served cold or at room temperature.
