Do the same for the garlic, roast it in it’s skin.
Then bake for 40-45 minutes till fork tender.

HOW TO PREPARE BEET SALAD

Once they have baked remove the foil with an oven mitt (be careful there hot) and let it cool slightly enough so you can peel off the skin.

ARE ROASTING BEETS GOOD FOR YOU

Raw is best, however if your roasting them in tinfoil you are still preserving the nutrients. Vs boiling them away!

Plus roasting beets brings out their flavor! When choosing beets to roast, look for the small to medium ones as they will roast quicker.

CAN ROASTED BEETS BE FROZEN

Defiantly, and they taste just as good once thawed. Just do not reheat them as they become to mushy for this salad.

If that is not a reason to eat more beets, than I don’t know what is!

The best time of year to find fresh beets is end summer!

So if you have a local farmers market, be sure to check them out for some fresh beets.

CAN I USED FROZEN BEETS FOR BEET SALAD

Yes, you will want to start with raw beets and place them in the oven on a baking sheet or in tinfoil.

Baking them till fork tender, which ruffly takes 40 mins at 400f.
Then let them cool down before, slicing and freezing in appropriate freezer bags.

This Chickpea Avocado Feta Salad is the perfect Summer Salad.

Spring has finally arrived and this is a time where my family starts to think about eating more high protein low carb foods to help the body get into shape.

This stuff tends to go the moment I make it, so you may want to double it up if your having guests over.

Now I am not on any specific diet, I just like to add more protein vs carbs into it around the warmer months.

So if your looking to slim down a bit as well this summer, then you are going to love this salad.

This salad is packed with good for you fiber, fats and protein. I was never a huge salad fan, that is not to say I don’t eat salad.

I’m just saying I never ordered it much or requested extras while at any type of gathering.

The reason for that is because most salads i’ve tried are not always that healthy and tend to be covered with some kind of unhealthy bottled dressing.

Today, however I love salad and that is because I learned how to make different and filling varieties such as with this Chickpea, Avocado & Feta Salad.

Which has lead to my love of salad forevermore, and creating different kinds of salad that are not only healthy but also filling feels so good.

By adding proteins and fresh ingredients you can now have a meal in a salad which I love to do often.

This salad is one of those hearty, healthy salads, that is packed with just enough protein and healthy fats to make it a meal or great side if you like. Filling, Healthy and Delicious I hope you enjoy!
