For the Beet Salad

  • 3 large golden beets
  • 2 large red beets
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp Parsley

For the Vegan Whipped Feta Dip

Instructions
 

Making the Beet Salad

  1. Rinse and scrub beets, removing all dirt. Chop the root end and greens off.
  2. Chop beets into approximatelt 2 inch diameter sized pieces.
  3. Place the beets into the pressure cooker with 1 cup of water. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
  4. Note: Cook the different colored beets separately to avoid colors running if desired.
  5. Remove the beets and allow to cool 5 minutes before handling.
  6. Use the edge of a dinner spoon to remove the beet skins, then chop the beets to the desired size.
  7. Place the chopped beets into an air tight container and place in the fridge to cool for 1 hour.

Making the Vegan Whipped Feta Dip

  1. Add all ingredients into a blender and pulse until desired consistency is achieved.
  2. Spoon 2 tbsp of the feta dip onto a plate and place 1/4 of the beets on top.
  3. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and parsley.
  4. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Not Vegan? Use real feta cheese in the feta dip, or sprinkle real feta chunks on top of the beets instead. I bet this salad would also taste great with bleu cheese or gorgonzola sprinkled atop if you don't have feta.
  2. Gluten-free? As long as you have chosen gluten-free ingredients for the feta dip, you are good to go!
  3. Can't find golden beets? This salad works perfectly using all red beets too!
  4. Nutritional values are for 1 serving (2 tbsp) of Vegan Whipped Feta Dip with 1/4 of the beet salad.
