The pesto with feta and beet combines the bold flavor of Greek feta with the sweetness of beet in a tasty and original balance.

The feta, a typical Greek cheese made from sheep’s milk or a mixture, 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 is found vacuum-packed at 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 activating the blades until a smooth and as homogeneous as possible cream is obtained!Now to adjust the taste, it’s time to taste and add salt if necessary, and if we want a more fluid cream, I add a little cold running water.
And there you go, the beet and feta pesto is ready to be used immediately or stored in the fridge in an airtight jar for a couple of days.
Super quick and colorful pesto perfect for summer, right?? Try it and let me know what you think!
Enjoy your meal and happy cooking!
