Ingredients
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups roasted or canned beets, cut into roughly 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium cucumber, seeded and thinly sliced
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh dill, roughly chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Dressing
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice and kosher salt until the salt dissolves. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
Toss the Beets
Place the beet pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle half of the dressing over the beets and gently toss to coat. Let them marinate for a few minutes while preparing the remaining ingredients.
Combine the Salad
Add the sliced cucumber, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh dill to the bowl with the beets.
Finish and Serve
Pour the remaining dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly combined. Serve immediately.
Notes
Reserve a few cucumber slices, feta crumbles, and dill for garnish to enhance presentation.
Roasted beets provide deeper flavor, but canned beets work well for convenience.
Allowing the beets to marinate briefly in the dressing enhances the flavor.
Best served fresh for the most vibrant texture and taste.
