Beetroot salad

/

I don't know when I came across this recipe, but it has become a firm favourite throughout the summer. The combination of the sweetness of the pear, the tartness from the vinegar, the crunch of the walnuts and the saltiness from the feta is just delicious!! its definitely one of my favourites to take to a BBQ, or even have by itself. Adding quinoa gives it some more body and it becomes a meal on its own. Feel free to play around with the proportions til you get a combination that suits you.
