Beet Feta And Granny Smith Apple Salad Recipes

BEET, FETA AND GRANNY SMITH APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Wash the beets, but do not peel.
• Place in a very deep pot and cover with cold water until floating. Bring to a boil, cut back to a simmer and cook for about 40 minutes or until tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Note - Beets can be a bit messy and stain terribly. By using a very deep pot you won't have as much splattering.
• While the beets are cooking, make the salad dressing by combining the ingredients above starting with the shallot and ending with the freshly ground pepper. Shake well.
• Chop the red onion, slice the green apple, place them in a large bowl and toss with the salad dressing and the feta cheese.
• When beets are done, cool, peel, cut in half and then slice thinly.
• Toss with the apples, onion and cheese mixture.
• Garnish with the scallions and dill.
• Enjoy!
