Ingredients

2 red beets peeled and diced
1 cup radishes diced
2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
Pinch each salt and pepper
½ cup feta cheese crumbled or diced, 100 g
2 Tbsp pesto 30 g
½ lemon

Instructions

Roast: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C). Dice beets and radishes, and spread onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper, tossing around a bit to evenly coat. Roast for 20 minutes, or until radishes are a bit tender (beets will still have some crunch).
Serve: Toss to combine roasted beets, radishes, feta, pesto, and the juice from half of a lemon. Serve warm or cold.

Notes

Storage: This salad can be stored for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. You can also keep the components separate so you can reheat the radishes and beets before remixing the rest.
