I have two moods.

Cooking helps both!

BEETROOT AND FETA CHEESE SALAD

Ingredients

4 medium beetroots

60gm feta cheese

2 tbsp chopped parsley

Lemon vinaigrette

3 tbsp lemon juice

3 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp salt, or to taste

Method

Boil the beetroot on medium heat for 45 minutes, or until it can be easily pierced through with a knife. The skin will easily peel off. After removing the skin of the beetroots, chop the beetroot into cubes and do the same with the feta cheese.

Roughly chop the parsley. For the vinaigrette, mix all ingredients together in a bowl and whisk slightly. Combine beetroot, feta cheese, and parsley with the lemon vinaigrette and serve.
