Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets individually in foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 60 minutes until tender. Once done, allow to cool, peel off the skins, and dice into bite-sized pieces.
- While the beets are roasting, wash the cucumber thoroughly. Slice into bite-sized pieces, keeping the skin on for presentation. Place in a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar or lemon juice with 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if desired. Mix until well combined.
- In the bowl with the cucumbers, add the roasted beets, 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese, and 1/4 cup of fresh dill. Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently toss until evenly coated.
- Garnish with additional sprigs of dill. Serve immediately or let chill in the fridge for a couple of hours to enhance flavors.

Notes
For best results, serve chilled and keep dressing separate until ready to serve to maintain crispness of cucumbers.
