Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the medium beets under cold water, trim off the stems, wrap each beet individually in foil and roast for about 45 minutes until tender. Chill in an ice bath.
- Slice the Persian cucumbers into rounds or half-moons. If using standard cucumbers, peel and remove the seeds to maintain texture. Set aside.
- Finely chop fresh parsley and dill. Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces.
- Combine apple cider vinegar, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine chilled beets, cucumbers, feta, and herbs. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss gently without mushing the ingredients.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours for enhanced flavors, covering it to keep fresh.

Notes
For optimal freshness, consider storing the vinaigrette separately and mixing just before serving.
