Ingredients

• 1-1/2 lbs. golden or red beets or a combination (about 4 medium)
• 3/4 cup walnut pieces
• 1/3 cup chopped red onion
• 3 Tbs. chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
• 3 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil

• 3 Tbs. red wine vinegar
• 2 tsp. finely chopped garlic (about 2 cloves)
• ½ tsp. salt
• Freshly ground pepper to taste
• 4oz-6oz feta cheese, crumbled or diced, or non-dairy “cheese”

 

Preparation

• 1. Scrub beets, trim off leaves and stem ends and put in a large saucepan covered with ample water. Cover and simmer until tender when pierced with a knife. This can take an hour or so, depending on the size of the beets. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• 2. Slip off skins and cut beets in ½” slices. Put in medium bowl with walnuts, red onion, parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
• 3. Serve, garnished with feta cheese or non-dairy cheese.
