I came up with the idea of publishing this beetroot and feta salad when I was staying at my parents' and their garden was bursting with beetroots and parsley.
Oh the joy of harvesting my own food from my parents’ garden! I’m always overexcited to cook what I harvest myself! It couldn’t be more fresh, local and organic! And I believe that when you have great ingredients, you don't need to go into complicated things. Just keep things simple.
So here is my very simple version of beetroot and feta salad.

📖 Ingredient notes
Red beetroots
For this recipe, you will need cooked beetroots. In France we can easily buy ready steamed cooked beetroots (they are even easier to find than raw beets!). But if you can't find ready cooked beetroots or if you prefer to cook them yourself and you want to know how to cook them, you can read all about it in my article Beetroot for beginners.
🥣Step by step instructions
- Chop the beetroots into cubes. Then drain the feta cheese (if it is in brine) and also cut it into cubes.
- Prepare dressing by combining olive oil and apple cider vinegar in a bowl.
- In a salad bowl, combine beetroots, feta cheese and parsley with the dressing. Taste and then add salt if needed: feta cheese has a pretty salty taste so you might not need to add salt. And voilà!
