Vibrant Roasted Beet and Radish Salad
Description
Vibrant Roasted Beet and Radish Salad showcases diced red beets and radishes roasted to tender perfection, retaining some beet crunch for texture contrast. The ingredients are combined with crumbled feta cheese, which brings a creamy saltiness, and pesto that adds herbal richness. A squeeze of lemon juice brightens the salad, balancing the earthiness of the vegetables. The roasting process softens the radishes more distinctly, while the beets remain pleasantly firm.
The salad can be served either warm or chilled depending on preference, fitting well as a side to roasted meats or a light vegetarian option. Its colorful appearance and varied texture offer appeal both on the plate and the palate.
The recipe notes suggest storing the salad in the refrigerator for up to four days, either as a complete salad or with roasted vegetables kept separate for reheating. This allows flexibility for enjoying leftovers or preparing parts in advance.
Ingredients
- 2 red beet peeled and diced
- 1 cup radish diced
- 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled or diced, 100 g
- 2 Tbsp pesto 30 g
- ½ lemon
Instructions
- Roast: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C). Dice beets and radishes, and spread onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper, tossing around a bit to evenly coat. Roast for 20 minutes, or until radishes are a bit tender (beets will still have some crunch).
- Serve: Toss to combine roasted beets, radishes, feta, pesto, and the juice from half of a lemon. Serve warm or cold.
Notes
- Store the salad in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- You can keep the roasted beets and radishes separate to reheat them before combining with feta, pesto, and lemon juice for freshness.
