Method
 

  1. If making roasted beetroot salad, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread diced beetroot on a baking tray, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender. Let cool slightly.
    For a raw beetroot salad, grate or thinly slice the beetroot instead.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar (or lemon juice), honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine beetroot, baby spinach or arugula, red onion, feta cheese, and walnuts or pumpkin seeds.
  4. Drizzle dressing over the salad and gently toss until evenly coated. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to enhance flavor.
