Описание: Watermelon, Beets and Feta Salad Recipe

Serves: 6

Ingredients:
5 Cups watermelon, cut into 2-inch cubes
3 roasted, glazed beets (recipe below), cut into 1-inch cubes
4-ounces feta cheese, crumbled
6 basil leaves
8 mint leaves
2 T Lime juice
1 T honey
¼ tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. ground black pepper

In a large mixing bowl, add your watermelon and glazed beets.

Stack your basil leaves and mint leaves one on top of each other. Roll them up like a cigar and slice thinly (this is called a chiffonade).

Whisk the lime juice, honey, salt and pepper in a small bowl and then pour over the watermelon and beets. Add in the basil and mint. Give this all a mix.

Lastly, sprinkle in your feta cheese. Give it a mix. Enjoy!

For the beets:

Ingredients:
3 medium sized beets
3 T extra virgin olive oil
2 T balsamic vinegar
2 T honey
¼ tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. ground black pepper

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Peel the beets. Wrap the beets loosely in aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 T of the olive oil. Place on the sheet pan. Place the sheet pan in the oven on the middle rack. Roast for 45 minutes or until they pierce easily with a knife or fork. Take them out of the oven and let them cool. Once cool, dice into 1-inch cubes.

Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add in the remaining 2 T of olive oil, honey and balsamic vinegar. Add your beets to the pan and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Stir the beets to coat with the oil and vinegar. Cook till the liquid is reduced completely and the beets are coated. Enjoy!
