A perfect healthy side to bring to a summer barbecue or to add to the (overloaded) Christmas table. Full of heart smart veg but not even slightly boring, this salad will make any plate look delicious!

1 large beetroot
2 tbsp olive oil
1 packet or double handful of leafy salad greens
75g crumbled feta
1/2C toasted walnuts
1/3C toasted pepitas
