Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and trim your beets, removing any stems and root ends. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Roast the seasoned beets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for about 30 minutes, or until fork-tender. Let them cool slightly.
  3. Toast walnut halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until golden and fragrant. Reserve some for garnish.
  4. Whisk olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to create the vinaigrette. Fold in chopped toasted walnuts.
  5. Once cooled, peel the beets and cut into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in the vinaigrette to coat.
  6. Arrange the dressed beets on a serving platter. Crumble feta on top and add toasted walnuts and parsley for garnish.
  7. Serve warm or chilled, pairs well with your favorite protein or as a stand-alone dish.
