A great dish to take to a barbecue – it’s vibrant colour will make it stand out from the rest.

Ingredients

  • 4 fresh beetroot
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 500g kumara, peeled and diced 
  • 200g rocket 
  • ½ cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
  • 100g feta cheese, crumbled
Dressing
  • 1 ½ tbs macadamia nut oil or rice bran oil 
  • 1 ½ tbs lite olive oil 
  • 2 tbs lemon juice

Method

  1. Step 1

    Remove stem and leaves from beetroot and quarter unpeeled beetroots. Toss beetroot in half the oil and place on a lined baking tray in a moderately hot oven, 190°C, for 15 mins. 

  2. Step 2

    Toss kumara in remaining oil, place on a baking tray with beetroot and continue to bake for a further 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. When beetroot is cool enough to handle, peel. 

  3. Step 3

    Toss rocket, beetroot, sweet potato, macadamia nuts and feta together in a large bowl. Combine dressing ingredients and drizzle through the salad.
