Roasted Beet Salad

Think you dislike beets? Not after trying this recipe! Roasting brings out the beets' natural sweetness, and the feta offers a salty contrast.

This recipe was very good. I kinda freaked out when I read the serving size is 1/2 c. for 285 calories. We were eating it as a main dish, and 1/2 c. wasn't enough for us. - 8/31/09

Very filling and made a lot more than 8 1/2 cup servings. Used precooked turkey sausages which helped lower the sodium but still probably very high. - 3/3/17

Excellent! Great flavor and very filling. Easy to make but it does take time to cook the rice. My family loved it and I have leftovers to take for lunch. - 4/10/12

It was good, but only a half cup is a bit small. That was disappointing since most of us wanted a cup or more for supper. I probably won't be making this anytime soon. Also, high sodium content is not our cup of tea. - 2/17/12

Good and DH loves it too - the brown rice does take a bit longer to cook -- I simmer it for 50 minutes. - 2/3/11
