Why this is the Best Cucumber Beetroot Salad

  • 5 Main Ingredients.
  • Less than 10 minutes to make.
  • Earthy delicious flavors.
  • It's SO healthy!

Ingredients You Need

Here are some important notes about the ingredients used in this recipe. The full ingredient list is included below in the recipe card.

ingredients needed to make cucumber beetroot salad
  • Cooked Beets
  • 2 Persian Cucumbers - you can use 1 English cucumber if you don't have Persian cucumbers.
  • Feta Cheese - if you'd like this salad to be vegan, simply replace the feta cheese with a vegan feta.
  • Red Onion
  • Fresh Mint - this makes the entire salad! It adds just lovely flavor. Don't skip this ingredient.
  • Fresh Parsley
  • Olive Oil
  • Fresh Lemon Juice

Step-by-Step Instructions

You'll find full instructions on how to make this salad in the recipe card below. Here are the basic steps. This recipe is incredibly easy to prepare. I prefer to purchase cooked beets from Trader Joe's to make this recipe come together even more quickly. You can absolutely cook your own beets if you prefer.

Prepare Vegetables

Begin by slicing your red onion very finely. I prefer my red onion to be teeny tiny, but if you like larger pieces feel free to cut it to your preference.

Next, slice your beets into thin rounds about ¼'' thick.

Dice your parsley and mint very finely.

Add all salad ingredients into a medium bowl.

Make salad dressing by combining olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt, pepper whisk to combine.

Toss and top with more feta if desired.

Make Ahead & Storage

I recommend making this salad within 1 hour of eating it. The prep time is so quick and it truly tests best when made right before eating. You can cut all of the ingredients in place them in a bowl covered in the fridge up to 4 hours before. Do not put the salad dressing on ahead of time.

This salad can be stored for up to 6 hours in the fridge in an airtight container. I find the ingredients become soggy from the dressing if you store for much longer.
