Ingredients:

6 beets
490g
1 tbsp onion
10g
1/2 cup pistachio nuts
60g
1/2 cup feta cheese
72g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
4 tsp vinegar
20g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Beets:
- Wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Trim the tops and roots if necessary.
- Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil, ensuring they are tightly sealed.
3. Roast Beets:
- Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
4. Cool and Peel Beets:
- Remove the roasted beets from the oven and carefully unwrap them (they will be hot, so use caution).
- Allow the beets to cool until they are easy to handle.
- Once cooled, peel the beets using your hands or a vegetable peeler. The skin should come off easily.
5. Chop Beets:
- Slice the peeled beets into bite-sized pieces.
6. Assemble Salad:
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped beets and finely chopped onion.
- Add the pistachio nuts and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl.
7. Make Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper to taste.
8. Dress Salad:
- Pour the dressing over the beet mixture.
- Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
9. Serve:
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates.
- Optionally, garnish with additional pistachios or a sprinkle of feta for presentation.
10. Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. This salad can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- For an extra boost of flavor, consider roasting the beets with a splash of balsamic vinegar.

- You can toast the pistachio nuts lightly in a dry skillet to enhance their flavor and crunch.

- Use high-quality olive oil and vinegar to dress the salad for the best taste.

- Feel free to add in some fresh herbs like parsley or mint for an added layer of freshness.

- If you prefer a more tangy taste, increase the amount of vinegar or add a squeeze of lemon juice.

This roasted beet, pistachio, and feta salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures that make it a standout dish. Whether you serve it as a side or a main course, it's sure to impress with its vibrant colors and rich taste. Enjoy this delicious salad as a nutritious addition to your meal repertoire.
