Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For extra flavor and texture, try roasting the beetroots with a touch of cumin powder and a drizzle of olive oil before adding them to the salad.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute feta cheese with crumbled tofu marinated in lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and nutritional yeast for a tangy, cheesy flavor.
- Lightly toast the walnuts in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes to intensify their nuttiness and add a warm crunch to the salad.
- For a more vibrant presentation, use a mix of golden and red beetroots, slicing them thinly with a mandoline for an elegant look and even texture.
