Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the whole beets in aluminum foil and place them on a baking tray. Roast for about 60 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Once roasted, let the beets cool slightly. Peel off the skins and cut into bite-sized cubes, placing them in a large serving bowl.
- Wash the cucumbers and slice them into half-moons or quarters. Add the sliced cucumbers to the bowl with the cubed beets.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine red wine vinegar or lemon juice with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and honey or maple syrup if desired. Whisk until emulsified.
- Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and fresh dill. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix carefully.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or olive oil if desired.
- Serve immediately or let chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes
Store the salad in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep dressing separate until serving to maintain crispness.
