Method
- If not already roasted, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in foil and bake for 40-45 minutes until fork-tender. Let cool, then peel and dice.
- In a large bowl, combine chickpeas, diced beets, thinly sliced red onion, parsley, mint (if using), and crumbled feta. Toss gently to avoid breaking the beets.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
- Pour the dressing over the salad. Toss again gently, coating all ingredients evenly. Let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Top with extra herbs or toasted nuts if desired.
Notes
Roast your own beets for best flavor, or use pre-cooked unsweetened beets as a shortcut. Toss gently to prevent beets from breaking apart. Let salad rest to allow flavors to develop. Can use vegan feta for dairy-free option.
