Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 3 cups air fryer roasted beets, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 4 oz Feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup walnuts

Dressing Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Toast Walnuts: In a small pan over low heat, lightly toast the walnuts for a few minutes until fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool, then chop coarsely.
  2. Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the diced roasted beets, chopped toasted walnuts, crumbled feta cheese, and thinly sliced red onion if using.
  4. Toss Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together until all components are evenly coated with the dressing.
  5. Serve: Serve the salad immediately as a refreshing and nutritious appetizer, side dish, or light meal.

Notes

  • Toast walnuts carefully over low heat to avoid bitterness.
  • Red onion is optional but adds a nice crunch and sharpness.
  • For a vegan version, substitute feta cheese with a plant-based alternative.
  • Beets can be roasted in an oven if air fryer is not available.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
