Roasted beetroot, feta cheese, romaine lettuce, and salty granola
If you want a special salad
If someone says that salad is boring, they definitely haven’t tried it this way! A piece of lettuce may not be the height of creativity, but it can be jazzed up with countless ingredients. Spicy roasted beetroot cubes, feta cheese, balsamic vinegar, and savory granola for crunch, for example, offer flavors and textures that will make any salad leaf truly special. Try it anytime you’re craving new flavors!
How should you eat it?
It’s delicious on its own for dinner. I like to have it for lunch with some fried chicken breast. For example, it was heavenly with this recipe: Roasted chicken breast with apples, cheese, and ham.
