Notes

  • Pre-cooked beets can be used to reduce preparation time.
  • Toss avocado slices with a little lemon juice to help prevent browning.
  • Substitute goat cheese for feta for a creamier flavor.
  • Add arugula or mixed greens for a heartier salad.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
  • Prepare the beets and dressing ahead of time, then assemble just before serving.
