SWEET & SOUR BEETROOT & WILD ROCKET SALAD WITH ORANGE AND FETA

Directions

Cut the beetroot into even bite sized pieces, heat the olive oil and sauté the LeaderBrand Baby Beetroot, thyme, vinegar, honey and spice for a few minutes, tossing until they start to caramelise. 

Toast the walnut halves in a pan with the butter and maple syrup until shiny and golden, transfer to a sheet of baking paper and allow to cool. 

Arrange the LeaderBrand Wild Rocket leaves and segmented orange on a platter. Spoon over the warm sweet & sour beetroot. Sprinkle with the toasted maple walnuts and feta.
