Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch fresh beetroot
  • half a block feta cheese (barrel aged is tasty)
  • half a fennel bulb
  • 2 handfuls watercress
  • juice of half an orange
  • 1/2 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin

Instructions
 

  • Wash the beetroot and simmer in a pan of boiled water for approximately an hour. The time will depend on the size of the beetroot but you should be able to slide a knife into them with ease but they should not be mushy. You could do this the day before if you wanted. Then drain and cool and peel the skin off.
  • Pre heat oven to 200 degrees.
  • Cut beetroot into chunks and toss with half of the oil, the honey and some salt and pepper. Place of a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes. Give them a toss half way through if needed. (I also added carrots but this is optional).
  • Whilst the beetroot cooks finely slice the fennel and toss with the watercress, orange juice and remaining olive oil.
  • Divide the beetroot between two plates and crumble the feta over the top. Serve the salad alongside.
