Full disclosure, I do not like beetroot – somehow all my kids eat it though so I do buy it from time to time. Despite my feelings about beetroot this is a salad that David would really enjoy and it is super easy to make, making it perfect for a braai or even a mid-week dinner meal.
It also has to be said that feta is really one of the most underrated cheeses. On it’s own it is pretty boring but add it to a salad and it really comes into it’s own.

Not gonna lie, I am not a fan of cabbage, but the idea of disguising it with the feta and beetroot sounds intriguing. I will have to give it a go.
I’m intrigued! Beetroot has so many health benefits and we love cabbage. This looks delicious so I’m anxious to try this dish and see what my hubby thinks.
We are the same at my house, I wouldn’t eat that (for the beetroot and the feta cheese) but my husband would devour something like this! We often make different salads since we have such different tastes. I’ll have to make this one for him soon.
I love trying out healthy salads and this beetroot and red cabbage salad with feta looks absolutely yummilicious ❤️ I can’t wait to give it a try 😍

Feta makes a salad for me. It has just the right amount of bite to it to make it interesting. Love the idea of using it in a red cabbage salad.

The combination of flavors sounds fantastic, need to make this salad soon, although my family might not enjoy it as much as me, but more for me, right?
What a beautiful salad!! I want to make this really soon!
If I use fresh beetroot should it be cooked or raw?
I suppose it depends how you like it? But I would think cooked.
