Beetroot, feta and mint salad is a good way to use different coloured beets (Jason Lowe)
This is a good way to use different coloured beets, as many different types as you can even for a colourful starter or buffet dish. Here you can bake some of the beetroot and boil the yellow or white ones as they tend to discolour a little when cooked on a dry heat.
300-400g different coloured cooked beetroot, peeled A handful of rocket, washed and dried 200-250g feta cheese, broken into pieces A handful of mint leaves, washed and dried
For the dressing
1tbsp cider vinegar 4tbsp olive or rapeseed oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cut the beets into a mixture of chunks and wedges and arrange on a serving dish with the rocket.
Whisk the oil and vinegar together and season well, then spoon over the rocket and beetroot. Scatter on the feta and mint leaves; serve.
