Baked Potato Filled with Beets, Feta & Mint Salad
PREP TIME: 10 min // COOK TIME: 1 1/2 hours, depending on size of potatoes
SERVINGS: 4
What to do
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Put the potatoes in the oven, directly on the shelf, and bake for an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half, or until soft when pierced with a skewer. Alternatively, partly cook the potatoes in a microwave on hight for 10-15 minutes, then put in the oven to finish baking, reducing the cooking time accordingly.
- Make the salad by whisking together the olive oil, red wine vinegar and caster sugar together in a large bowl. Stir though the mint and season to taste with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan until golden brown. Add to the salad dressing, along with the beets, onion and black olives. Set aside for the flavors to marinade.
- Just before you are ready to eat, stir the feta cheese through the salad. Open up each baked potato and fluff up the inside a little with a fork, adding a little butter if you’d like. Spoon the salad into each potato and serve immediately.
