Ingredients

    1 1/2 pounds beets – red, yellow, the candy-striped Chioggia, or a mixture
    1/4 cup slivered almonds, roasted
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 tablespoon minced fresh chives, plus a few whole chives for garnish
    1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
    1/8 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
    2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Place beets in a medium pot and cover with water. Cover, bring to a boil, and cook 15 to 25 minutes, until a beet is easily pierced with a fork. Drain, let cool, and use a pairing knife and fingers to slide off skins. Cut beets into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl. Add almonds, olive oil, chives, lemon juice and salt, and toss gently. Sprinkle with feta, lay whole chives across salad as garnish, and serve.
