This beet salad with feta is easy to make for a colorful and elegant side dish. I love making this with beets and shallots straight from our local farmers' market.

- shallot: 0.25 cup (minced)
- fresh parsley: 2 Tbsp (minced)
- extra-virgin olive oil: 2 Tbsp
- balsamic vinegar: 1 Tbsp
- red wine vinegar: 1 Tbsp

Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place onto a baking sheet.
-
Bake beets in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow beets to cool until you can handle them. Peel beets and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
-
While beets are roasting, whisk shallots, parsley, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and red wine vinegar together in a bowl until blended; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
-
Place warm, sliced beets onto a serving dish; pour vinaigrette over the beets and sprinkle with feta cheese.
