Here is the fresh and creamy recipe for a super colorful pesto ready in 5 minutes and without cooking, the beet and feta pesto, so inviting and perfect for summer!
So creamy, with its vibrant and cheerful color, it’s ideal for summer when it’s too hot to stay in the kitchen and we want in no time, a tasty and satisfying dish!
A cream with a delicate flavor, perfect for dressing cold pasta, farro, couscous or even just spread on crostini.
The pesto with feta and beet combines the strong flavor of Greek feta with the sweetness of beet in a tasty and original balance.
The beet is a root rich in antioxidants and minerals, perfect for light yet nutritious recipes.
The typical Greek feta cheese made from sheep’s milk or mixed milk, adds a savory and creamy note that perfectly balances the sweetness of the beet.

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE BEET AND FETA PESTO RECIPE
This type of beet can be found vacuum-sealed in the supermarket, and I generally peel it using gloves and a vegetable peeler.
Now, I add the crumbled feta, the chosen nuts (walnuts or almonds), lemon juice, and EVO oil.
I blend everything to complete the creamy pesto by running the blades until a smooth and as homogeneous as possible cream is obtained!Now, to adjust the taste, it’s time to taste and season with salt if needed, and if we want a more fluid cream, I add a little cold running water.
And voilà, the beet and feta pesto is ready to be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator in an airtight jar for a couple of days.
Super quick and colorful pesto perfect for summer, right?? Try it and tell me what you think!
Enjoy your meal and happy cooking!
