Feta & Beetroot Salad

Cheese and beetroot go so well together, especially feta. One of the good things about feta is that it is lower in fat than most other cheeses and so contains less calories. It is also an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus and B vitamins, which makes it great for maintaining healthy strong bones. It is one of my more healthy treat foods that I love to eat and this quick, tasty and nutrient packed salad is the perfect way to include it in your diet. It can be made in advance and stored in the fridge and any leftovers make a good packed lunch the next day.
