Ingredients:

2 tsp mustard
10g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tsp dried oregano
1.80g
1 tbsp tarragon (estragon)
1.80g
1 cup basil leaves
6g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
2 tsp fresh parsley
2.50g
3 tbsp olive oil
40g
4 beets
330g
5 cups arugula
100g
1 cups celery
100g
2/3 cup pickles
100g
1/2 cup feta cheese
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beets:
- If you haven't cooked the beets yet, start by boiling or roasting them until tender. This can take around 30-45 minutes depending on the size of the beets.
- Once cooked, let the beets cool down before peeling off the skin. Dice the beets into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
2. Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, tarragon, chopped basil leaves, chopped coriander leaves, and chopped fresh parsley.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
3. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, chopped celery, chopped pickles, and diced beets.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
4. Add the Final Touch:
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad.
5. Serve:
- Serve the salad immediately. Enjoy this refreshing and herb-infused summer treat as a side dish or a light main course.

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use fresh ingredients, particularly the herbs and arugula.

- Cook the beets in advance and let them cool completely before adding to the salad to avoid wilting the greens.

- Toss the salad just before serving to keep the arugula crisp.

- Experiment with different types of mustard (Dijon, whole grain, etc.) to see what flavor you prefer.

- If you don't have tarragon, other fresh herbs like dill or mint can be a good substitute.

This Fresh Summer Herb Beet Salad is a vibrant and flavorful dish that showcases the best of summer produce. With minimal prep time and a beautiful presentation, it's sure to become a favorite for any occasion.
