Vegan Version: Skip the feta cheese or use a plant-based feta alternative for a vegan-friendly version.
Add Grains: For a more filling dish, toss in some cooked quinoa, farro, or couscous for extra fiber and texture.
Citrus Twist: Add orange or grapefruit slices to bring a bright, zesty flavor that pairs wonderfully with beets.
FAQs:
Can I use canned beets? Yes, you can use canned beets if you're short on time, though roasting fresh beets gives the salad a richer flavor and texture.
How do I store leftovers? Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. The salad will last for up to 3 days, and it tastes even better on the second day!
Can I make this salad ahead of time? Absolutely! Prepare the components of the salad (beets, onions, nuts, and dressing) separately and combine them just before serving to keep the salad fresh.
What else can I add to this salad? Feel free to add any vegetables you like, such as avocado, cucumber, or roasted sweet potatoes. You can also experiment with different dressings like tahini or lemon vinaigrette for variety.
This beetroot salad is not just a feast for your taste buds but also a powerhouse of nutrients, and with its flexibility, you can make it your own. Enjoy!
