Time 50m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 lbs small red beets (or golden beets, scrubbed, trimmed, peeled and cut in half-read NOTE*)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup green onion, cut thinly on the diagonal
1/4 cup flat-leaf Italian parsley
1 large garlic clove, finely minced
1 teaspoon homemade harissa, to taste (for a spicier version add more)
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar (or white balsamic)
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • NOTE*: If using yams or potatoes, scrub well, remove skin and cut in half or thirds depending on size.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In small non-reactive bowl combine the salad dressing ingredients and whisk well. Set aside.
  • In a large shallow pan, toss the cut up beets lightly with the olive oil to coat. Transfer the beets to a large baking sheet and cover the baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake the beets for about 30 minutes or until the beets are very tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Remove from oven, set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Then cut beets into 1/2" cubes.
  • Place the prepared beets into a large salad bowl and toss lightly but thoroughly with the salad dressing to combine.

I used canned beets to make this salad and it was still really good.

I'm not usually a fan of beets, but this salad changed my mind. The roasting process really brings out their natural sweetness.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I always have a few extra beets after making roasted beet soup, so this is a perfect way to use them up.

The feta cheese adds a nice salty flavor to the salad. It really balances out the sweetness of the beets.

This was my first time making harissa and it was so easy! I used store-bought roasted beets and it still turned out great.

This salad is a flavor explosion! The roasted beets are earthy and sweet, the harissa adds a spicy kick, and the feta cheese balances it all out. I served it with grilled chicken and it was a perfect meal.
