How to roast beetroot
Indeed, beetroot is full with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants! To my mind, the best way to cook the beetroot for this salad is roasting, because roast beetroot has more flavor than boiled or steamed vegetable.
In short, to prepare the beetroot for this salad, you need to peel it, slice it in quarters. After that, sprinkle the beetroot with olive oil and bake, wrapped in foil, in 390 F / 200 C degree hot oven for an hour or until soft.
Check if it is soft with a fork.
Flavor and dressing for beetroot salad
In fact, the main ingredient of this dish is beetroot, which has beautiful earthy flavor. For this reason, it is perfect to pair with fresh salad leaves and salty feta.
Furthermore, to spice it up, I used grainy mustard, which makes the salad more pungent. Yes, regarding this, mustard is not only for sandwiches, hot dogs and meat. In other words, grainy mustard is great dressing for beetroot. Dressing also adds extra texture.
