A fresh and creamy salad featuring roasted beets and sweet potatoes tossed in a tangy feta dressing, perfect for a quick, nourishing meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium beets, washed and trimmed
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or dill (optional)
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • ¼ cup toasted walnuts or pecans
  • Mixed greens or arugula for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and trim the beets (no need to peel). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, toss beets and sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring or flipping halfway through. Beets are done when a knife slides in easily; sweet potatoes should be tender and caramelized.
  5. While roasting, blend feta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, garlic, olive oil, and black pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Let roasted veggies cool about 10 minutes. Peel beets by rubbing skins off with hands or paper towel, then slice or cube.
  7. Toss beets and sweet potatoes with the creamy feta dressing and fresh herbs. Add toasted nuts and serve over mixed greens or arugula if desired.

Notes

Let roasted vegetables cool before mixing with dressing to help it cling better. Peel beets after roasting for easier handling and less mess. Stir veggies halfway through roasting for even cooking. Adjust dressing sweetness or thickness with honey or a splash of water/olive oil as needed.
