Description

This roasted beetroot salad is a delightful combination of earthy sweetness, salty feta, and crunchy walnuts. I've been making this salad for years, and it's always a hit! The roasting brings out the natural sugars in the beetroot, creating a wonderful depth of flavor. It's perfect as a light lunch or a vibrant side dish. The puy lentils add a satisfying heartiness, while the rocket provides a peppery kick. Feel free to add other nuts or seeds for extra crunch. This salad is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian, making it a great option for various dietary needs.

Ingredients (12 ingredients)

  • 4 piece beetroot
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 250 g cooked puy lentils
  • 80 g rocket
  • 125 g feta
  • 75 g walnuts
  • 0.25 bunch chives
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 piece lemon
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 0.5 bunch chives

Preparation (5 steps)

1

Prepare the beetroot

Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan/gas 7). Place the beetroot on a baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the beetroot to ensure it’s evenly coated in the oil, then roast for 30 mins until tender and beginning to turn golden at the edges.

2

Prepare the dressing

Combine 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp honey, and ½ bunch of chopped chives in a medium bowl and set aside.

3

Marinate the beetroot

Once the beetroot is cooked, tip three-quarters of it into the dressing and leave to marinate for 45 mins.

4

Combine the salad

Just before the beetroot has finished marinating, combine the cooked puy lentils, rocket, three-quarters of the feta and two-thirds of the walnuts in a large bowl. Stir through the dressing and the marinated beetroot, and toss until everything is well combined.

5

Serve the salad

Tip the salad onto a platter, top with the remaining feta and walnuts, and scatter the remaining chopped chives over the top.
