Sweet beets with salty feta and a crunch

Great company for a lovely piece of organic chicken

I bought a bunch of lovely fresh beets yesterday, and wanted to use them today. I came up with this side-dish, or ‘warm salad’ if you like. It was quite delicious with lots of different tastes and textures, and the best thing about it: both my kids now love beetroot 🙂

Beets, feta, chicken passion_for_limeIngredients:

  • Boilded red quinoa
  • beets, cut into chunks, baked in an oven with olive oil, salt and pepper on 180’C until tender and sweet
  • feta cheese
  • pistachios
  • lots of chopped flat-leaf parsley (I forgot to mix it in before I took this picture).

Dressing:

  • olive oil
  • good quality balsamic vinegar
  • a few drops of honey, maple- or agave sirup
  • salt and pepper

The dressing should be thick, sweet and salty.

Mix everything together and serve with chicken, or by itself as a vegetarian lunch or dinner.

Enjoy!
