How to Make Beet Salad

Super simple, this Beet Salad uses the vacuumed-packed beets that you find in the produce section of the grocery store. I normally buy mine at Trader Joe’s but have even seen them offered at Costco. They are perfectly cooked and taste just like you boiled the beets yourself.

However, if you prefer to use fresh beets, just peel and bake in a foil packet until tender. You could also boil them as well. Check out a great tutorial on How to Cook Beets (4 Easy Methods). Point being, don’t let the idea of beets or cooking beets sway you from making this tasty salad.

Firstly, to make the salad just dice the cooked beets in to chunks. Add in the drained and rinsed garbanzo beans, diced celery, and red onion.

Secondly, in a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing. Pour over the beets, onion, and celery and toss to combine. Lastly, add in the feta cheese and gently toss to combine. That’s it!

You can make this Beet Salad up to a day in advance. If making in advance, it’s best to add the feta right before serving so that it doesn’t break up too much ahead of time.

      Yes, pickled beets would work great here and it would give the salad a bit of tang too! Enjoy! 🙂
