Beetroot, feta & red onion salad

27/10/2009 by D.

2 small or 1 large beetroot
1/2 red onion (or 1 small one)
1/2 pack feta
dash balsamic (optional)

Roast the beetroot whole as you would potatoes (why not put some pototoes in at the same time, this is lovely with baked spuds).  They take around 40 mins to an hour.  Don’t expect them to go soft like baked potatoes though, you’ll just get a little bit of give when they are ready!  While they are baking, finely dice the onion, and cube the feta into small cubes.  When the beets are ready, leave to cool a little, then peel and cube the same size as the feta.  Mix them all together.  Thats it.  Add balsamic if you like it, though usually this beautiful pink and red salad balances perfectly without it.  I keep a tub of this in the fridge and stuff toasted wholemeal pitta breads with it for lunch.  It keeps well for a few days.
