Beet Feta Dill (Printable Version)
A crisp mix of beets, feta, cool cucumbers, and dill with punchy dressing.
# Ingredients Required:
01 -
Optional: add 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey if you like it sweeter
02 -
Sprinkle in as much salt and ground black pepper as you want
03 -
Pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil
04 -
Splash in 1 tablespoon lemon juice or red wine vinegar
05 -
Chop up 2 tablespoons fresh dill
06 -
Crumble ½ cup feta cheese
07 -
Slice up 1 big cucumber, as thin as you can
08 -
Get 4 cooked beets (roasted or steamed), then peel and cut into slices
# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
You can pop it in the fridge for a couple hours or just eat it right away if you're hungry.
02 -
Sprinkle feta on top and let it be or lightly toss again if you want.
03 -
Throw the sliced beets, cucumber, and chopped dill into a big bowl. Pour over the dressing and stir things up gently.
04 -
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice (or vinegar), salt, pepper, and sweetener if you're using it. Do this in a little bowl.
05 -
Grab a mandoline or a sharp knife. Cut the cucumber into super thin circles.
06 -
Peel the beets, then slice 'em up. For roasting, wrap in foil and cook at 200°C till a fork slips in (45–60 mins), let them cool. For steaming, put peeled beets in simmering water for half an hour.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
If you don't want to cook beets, you can buy the ones already cooked (just make sure they're not sweetened).
02 -
Set the whole thing aside for 15–30 minutes if you want the flavors to soak in before you eat.
03 -
Wear gloves if you don't want red hands while peeling beets.
04 -
Feta looks best if you sprinkle it on right before you serve—it stays white and pretty that way.
