Shaved Beet, Pear, & Marinated Feta Salad

From Stonesoup

Inspired by the beet salad in Jamie Oliver’s Cook with Jamie.

Beets, beets, glorious beets are another of my vegetable favourites. Jamie used beets and pears cut into matchsticks but I found they worked much better shaved and layered. I was lucky enough to get hold of some target patterned beets which looked extra pretty but regular beets would work just as well.

Serves 2
2T red wine vinegar
4T extra virgin olive oil
5 medium beets
2 small pears
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
small handful mint, leaves picked
small handful feta

1. In a medium bowl combine oil and vinegar and season well. Scrub beets thoroughly then trim tops and bottoms and peel. Shave into thin rounds using a v-slicer, mandoline or sharp knife and toss in the dressing.

2. Wash pears and shave into rounds, discarding any with seeds. Toss with dressing and beets immediately to avoid browning. Toss through onion then divide salad between two plates.

3. Scatter with mint and feta and serve.
