Description

A vibrant and flavorful salad featuring roasted beets, hearty chickpeas, and tangy feta, all tossed in a zesty dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 medium beets, roasted and diced
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets thoroughly, wrap them in aluminum foil, and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45-60 minutes.
  2. While beets roast, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Toss them in a bowl with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Chop the cherry tomatoes, parsley, and red onion. If desired, soak the red onion in cold water to reduce sharpness.
  4. In a large bowl, combine roasted beets, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley. Gently fold in the crumbled feta.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the salad and toss until coated.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding olives or sun-dried tomatoes. This salad keeps well and tastes even better the next day!
