Instructions

1. Prepare the Beets: Start by peeling and slicing the beetroots into thin rounds.
2. Roast the Beets: Heat the Figaro Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the beet slices and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cover the pan and allow the beets to steam-cook for about 10-12 minutes, until tender.
3. Add Flavors: Once the beets are cooked, add the minced garlic to the pan and stir for about a minute. Then, toss in the crumbled feta cheese, red wine vinaigrette, honey, sliced pickled jalapenos, and onion rings. Continue to toss everything together for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Finish & Serve: Once everything is combined and heated through, turn off the heat. Gently toss in the chopped walnuts and roughly torn basil leaves for added crunch and fragrance.
5. Serve: Serve the warm salad immediately, garnished with extra basil or walnuts if desired. It pairs beautifully with a Vegetable Clear Soup with Lemongrass or a Spring Vegetables Tagliatelle Pasta with Mustard Lemon Basil Sauce for a complete meal.
