Simple 3 Ingredient Beet Salad

Simple 3 Ingredient Beet Salad is delicious! It is also quick to put together, is small-batch sized for smaller families, and goes great with just about everything! Beets are available now, so what are you waiting for? Try Simple 3 Ingredient Beet Salad with different colored beets, they are all good for you! 


Vintage recipes are fun to explore and get good ideas still valid for today. 

As I continue to explore vintage recipes and some of the old ways that were common many years ago, one thing has become very clear. Foods were grown at home, cooked at home, and eaten at home. All three of which are still of great value to your budget, and good for the whole family. 

But in addition to this, I have also observed that most of the recipes that were family favorites handed down and looked forward to being enjoyed often, were usually simply prepared. It only makes sense as it does take a lot of time to grow, care for and preserve food from the garden and family orchard. With the investment in growing food, simple preparation methods were developed, used, and enjoyed. 

Being busy often helps us streamline our prep time in the kitchen.

Due to time constraints, those simple preparation methods came to be. Meals were served, enjoyed and all were nourished. Today many of us do not grow our own food, but time still tends to be in short supply. Each day is new, but each day only holds 24 hours for each of us. Which is one reason I have begun to go back and relearn some cooking lessons, from those old ways

Most simply prepared foods were the result of matching compatible flavors, but more importantly using quality ingredients. If you have brightly flavored vinegar, a fresh beet or two, and a bit of salty creamy Feta, together those elements will make a fine impromptu salad, like this Simple 3 Ingredient Beet Salad

Not every recipe needs to be time-consuming, I hope you give this one a try...I find it easiest to cook up a few beets in the Instant Pot. It is quick, and they keep well in the refrigerator for quick recipes like this one. 
 

Ingredients needed for this recipe:
  • beets
  • balsamic vinegar
  • Feta Cheese
You will also need the following:
  • Instant Pot or Medium-sized pan with lid
  • cutting board
  • small serving bowl
  • small kitchen knife
Now we are ready to begin!


Easy to prepare, Simple 3 Ingredient Beet Salad, vibrant and delicious!

  4. I've only tried beets once many years ago and didn't like them at all. Same with feta, but yesterday I ordered a salad that had feta on it and I didn't hate it, so I may give beets another try.
