Category
Savories & Sides
Ingredients
-
1-1/2 pounds beets – red, yellow, the candy-striped Chioggia, or a mixture
-
1/4 cup Mandelin Blanched Slivered Almonds, roasted
-
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives, plus a few whole chives for garnish
-
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
-
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
-
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
Directions
Place beets in a medium pot and cover with water. Cover, bring to a boil, and cook 15 to 25 minutes, until a beet is easily pierced with a fork. Drain, let cool, and use a paring knife and fingers to slide off skins.
Cut beets into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl. Add almonds, olive oil, chives, lemon juice and salt, and toss gently.
Sprinkle with feta, lay whole chives across salad as garnish and serve.
