Tomato and Pickled Beet Salad
This pickled beet salad packs a lot of flavors – fresh tomatoes, earthy beets, peppery arugula, and a sprinkle of feta cheese. It’s great year-round, but the colors are perfect for special holiday meals. I like to serve it as a side, so this recipe makes enough for four people if other side dishes are on the menu.

Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 grape tomatoes, halved
- 8 slices pickled beets, halved (see note)
- 4 cups baby arugula
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions

- Top each serving with some feta cheese and enjoy!
Notes
Look for jars of pickled beets near the other pickles in the grocery store. I like to buy Aunt Nellie’s brand – the beets are already sliced and just need to be halved for the salad.
Substitutions: Use other greens like spinach or butter lettuce. You can also swap the feta for crumbled goat cheese.Ā
