With a sprinkling of briny olives, tangy Feta cheese, and sweet beets this is a rather eclectic salad.

About the recipe
This wonderful beet salad with lemon herb dressing was made by my friend Swati when we went over to our friends Swati and Tarak’s home for a holiday dinner with the family.



For the dressing Swati got inspired to use a few lemons from one of many fruit trees in her hillside garden and made a Lemon Herb Dressing for her outstanding Super Greens, Beets and Olives Salad.
