Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad.
- 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.
