Beet and Cucumber Salad – A Culinary Masterpiece
Feast your eyes on this drool-worthy creation! Nothing says “I’m fancy” like a bowl of vibrant beets and crunchy cucumbers. With a touch of love and a sprinkle of magic (also known as seasoning), this salad is sure to impress at your next gathering or even during a Netflix binge-watching session.
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized beets, roasted and sliced
- 1 large cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped (or more if you love it!)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (because we’re extra)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- First things first, let’s roast those beets! Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and roast them for about 45 minutes or until they’re tender. Don’t forget to put on your oven mitts – we don’t want any unfortunate beet-related accidents!
- While your beets are roasting and making your house smell like a fancy restaurant, go ahead and dice your cucumber and slice the red onion. Chop up that fresh dill like a culinary wizard preparing a potion!
- Once the beets have cooled (because we’re not trying to serve up hot beets), unwrap them and slice them however you fancy! Round, square, or even star-shaped if you’re feeling adventurous.
- In a big bowl, toss together your sliced beets, diced cucumber, sliced onion, and dill. It’s like a colorful parade of flavors!
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Drizzle this magical concoction over your salad and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine everything oh-so-well!
- Finally, sprinkle that crumbled feta cheese on top, salute the salad with a bow, and serve it up! You’re about to be the life of the party (or at least the life of your own dinner plate). Enjoy!
