Chickpea Salad With Beets & Feta

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Beets are in season and after a hosting a recent Greek Supper Club, I found myself with a some extra cooked beets.

I’ve always enjoyed beets, they are high in vitamin B, reduce the possibility of heart disease and stroke. Eat your beets people!

This salad is easy – basically dump and mix. Like any recipe, you can adjust the amounts in the ingredients. I find that wine vinegar and garlic are a good balance to beets’ natural sweetness. It’s about balance in flavours.

Notes
  • How to cook beets: I like roasting beets by rubbing them with a little oil, place in a pan and cover with foil and placing them in a preheated 400F oven for 1 hour or until fork tender.
  • To peel beets: once cooled, use a butter knife to peel the skins off.
