This salad is served at the salad bar of a small, local health-food restaurant in Toulouse/France. Very simple and tasty.

• Preparation time: 10 minutes
• Makes 8-10 side-dish servings.

INGREDIENTS

• 500 grams (1 lb) cooked red beets, diced, drained
• I simply use a package of pre-cooked and diced beets from the supermarket, and drain it
• 200 gram (1/2 lb) feta cheese, diced/crumbled
• 6-8 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• Optional: 1/2-1 teaspoon ground anis seeds
• Optional: 6 fresh mint leaves, torn or coarsely chopped

EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES

• Medium size bowl
• Sieve, for draining the cooked beets

PREPARATION / DIRECTIONS

• Drain the beets well
• Mix the beet and the feta dice in a bowl (and the ground anis seeds, if you want)
• Let sit for 30 minutes, for the flavors to blend (unless you are in a hurry)
• Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the salad, and mix
