Dill-Soused Feta with Beetroot, Cucumber, Apple and Watercress
Introduction
If you’re using a charcoal barbecue, this dish is perfect to make towards the end – tip your beetroot cubes into a foil packet with lemon, lay them directly on the coals, and let them cook. Of course, you could also pop your foil packet into the oven and have this as an accompanying salad to your barbecue – I find the combination of sweet apple, beetroot, cucumber and feta mildly addictive.
