For the Salad –
place rocket into a serving bowl
prepare Feta using a clean chopping board, and knife, once cut into cubes.
afterwards place feta on top of the rocket into the serving bowl
prepare beetroot using a separate clean chopping board, and knife,
afterwards place cubes of beetroot on top of the rocket into the serving bowl
we suggest sprinkling the walnuts on top before serving, and we like to use local microgreens to decorate the top of the salad.

serve immediately with salad servers, and remember that left over salad can be used in your weekday lunch box!

Foodie Fact | We also love to use our Alexandrina Feta on our Roast Pumpkin, Spinach and Fleurieu Feta Salad, which can be found in our Summer Series eCookbook https://alexandrinacheese.com.au/blogs/curds-whey/summer-2020. Please note there is a typo on this recipe and instead of 5g of Feta we suggest 125 g of Feta. Countless people have emailed me to tell me about the mistake, and I appreciate everyone’s help with this matter.
Another Top Tip | If you prefer to use The Figgery Sticky Fig Syrup instead of Balsamic Vinegar you won’t reget it – or use a bit of both.
