Creamy Beet Feta Delight ✨
Ingredients:
- 2 medium beetroots
- Sea salt, to taste
- 5 oz feta cheese
- 3.5 oz Greek-style yogurt
- Juice of 1/4 lemon
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- Small handful of roughly chopped roasted pistachios
- Small handful of fresh dill
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Cook the Beetroots:
Halve the beetroots and place them in a pot of boiling, salted water. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the water and let them cool until they’re easy to handle.
Prepare the Whipped Feta:
While the beetroots are cooling, blend the feta, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and 1/2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Set aside.
Peel and Marinate the Beetroots:
Once the beetroots have cooled slightly, peel off the skins and cut them into small cubes. Toss the beetroot cubes with the dressing and let them marinate for about 5 minutes.
Assemble the Dish:
Spread the whipped feta across a serving plate using the back of a spoon. Place the marinated beetroot cubes on top, leaving the excess dressing in the bowl. Sprinkle over the chopped pistachios and fresh dill.
Serve:
Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and finish with a pinch of sea salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Serve immediately.
