Flavorful and Savory Roasted Beet Salad with Feta
I highly recommend this nutritious and "lots-of-crunch" salad. This colorful salad mix the flavors of fresh herbs, pine nuts and roast beets. Beets are root veggie that come in various colors like white, yellow or deep red. Oregano, dill, lemon thyme and other herbs are great substitutes to fresh basil. If fresh herbs are not available in your area, then dried basil is a great option.

Recipe Notes
If you plan to have canned beets, then you must use at least 4 cans because canned beets are small.
You can also have hemp oil or sunflower oil instead of olive oil. Almonds and walnuts are great choices as alternative to pine nuts. Feta could also be replaced with goat cheese. You can try other alternatives to create different flavors.
