Notes
- If you don't want to have purple hands for the rest of the day, then wear gloves when chopping the beetroot.
- You can swap the walnuts for pecans or cashews and use feta instead of a goat's cheese log if you prefer.
- Some cooked chickpeas give this salad a little protein boost.
- We used ready cooked beetroot, but you can roast chunks of peeled beetroot with some olive oil for 40 minutes until softened.
- Take this salad to the next level by adding a drizzle of honey over the finished salad.
