Pear, beetroot, feta and mint salad

This beetroot, pear, feta and mint salad recipe from TV presenter Kate Humble is ideal when you want a light but filling salad to enjoy at home or pack up and take to work.

Ingredients :
  • 2 pears
  • Juice ½ lemon
  • 4 raw beetroot, peeled
  • 150g sugar snap peas
  • 100g toasted pine nuts
  • 200g feta, crumbled
  • 15g bunch mint, leaves picked and roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • ½ tsp onion granules
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 6 tbsp olive oil
Directions :

  1. Put all the ingredients for the dressing in a clean jar with a good pinch of salt. Put the lid on and shake vigorously to mix. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

  2. Quarter and core the pears (if the skin is tough, peel them too). Slice each quarter into 2 or 3 wedges, then chop these into chunks. Toss the chunks in the lemon juice in a large bowl.

  3. Coarsely grate the beetroot into the bowl. Slice the sugar snap peas diagonally into 4 or 6 pieces and add to the bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and mix well, then toss together with the dressing.

  4. Transfer the salad to a serving platter. Scatter over the pine nuts, feta and mint. Give it one last gentle toss, then serve.
