Ingredients
  • 1 large or 2 medium beets, peeled, roasted, and cut into 1" cubes (raw beets work too for extra crunch)
  • Balsamic glaze, drizzled
  • 1 large or 2 medium cucumbers, peeled and cut into 1" cubes
  • Handful of large grape or cherry tomatoes, ends trimmed so they stand upright
  • 1-2 8-oz blocks of Président® Feta Chunk, cut into 1" cubes
  • Extra virgin olive oil, drizzled
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Roast beets in the oven for about 40 minutes, or prepare raw.
  2. Drizzle balsamic glaze onto a plate or platter in a decorative fashion (alternatively, drizzle over the salad once assembled).
  3. Create a row by alternating cubes of beet, cucumber, tomato, and Président® Feta Chunk. Continue until you’ve formed a checkerboard pattern.
  4. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a generous grind of black pepper.
