I am obsessed with the way the bitterness in the radicchio marries with the sweet sugars from the roasted beets.
And you know how much I love to eat the rainbow. So I loaded this beauty with radishes, snap peas, cukes, and peppers add so it’s extra crunchy and delicious.
The salty feta and honey vinaigrette pair perfectly and create a brilliant combo you are going to go gaga for.
This super quick healthy salad is perfect when you don’t feel like cooking. It’s guaranteed to become a family favorite. I used pre-cooked beets but if you want to roast your own just pop them in some foil and roast them on a baking sheet at 350F/175C for 40 minutes till they are fork-tender. Once they are cool use a glove to slip off the skin.
And don’t forget to tag me @themelissamayo if you make this.
