Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vibrant Beet Salad with Avocado and Feta.
Step 1
Start by placing fresh beets in a large pot and covering them with water.
Step 2
Bring the water to a lively boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let the beets simmer gently for about an hour, or until they’re tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork.
Step 3
Once they’re cooked to perfection, drain the beets and set them aside to cool until they’re comfortable to handle.
Step 4
When they’re cool, peel off the skins, chop the beets into delightful cubes, and transfer them to a bowl.
Step 5
Pop the bowl in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to chill the beets and enhance their flavor.
Step 6
While the beets are cooling, let’s whip up a zesty dressing! In a large mixing bowl, combine fresh lemon juice, smooth olive oil, rich balsamic vinegar, a spoonful of Dijon mustard, a sprinkle of salt, a dash of pepper, and a hint of garlic salt.
Step 7
Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is beautifully smooth and well-blended.
Step 8
Now it’s time to bring everything together! Add the chilled beet cubes, vibrant tomatoes, crisp red onion, creamy avocado, and crumbled feta cheese to the dressing.
Step 9
Gently toss everything together, allowing the flavors to mingle and dance.
Step 10
To finish off this colorful salad, add a handful of fresh baby spinach leaves on top and give it a light toss to mix everything together.
Step 11
This salad is not just a feast for the eyes; it’s a delightful blend of flavors and textures that will brighten up any meal.
Step 12
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
