    Ingredients

    • 1 lb beets - (abt 4) trimmed
    • 1 1/2 lb cucumbers - (2 large) unpeeled
    • 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 Tbsp. sherry vinegar
    • 1 tsp chopped garlic
    • 2 tsp chopped fresh chives and tarragon
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 lb crumbled feta

    Directions

    1. Place the beets in a large saucepan with plenty of water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook at a fast simmer till the beets are tender sufficient to piece easily with a sharp knife, about 45 min. Drain, rinse under cool running water, shake off excess moisture and set aside.
    2. Trim the cucumbers and slice them a little less than one-fourth-inch thick.
    3. In a large bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, garlic, herbs and salt. Add in the cucumbers and stir to coat well.
    4. Remove the cucumbers with a slotted spoon, draining any excess dressing back into the bowl. Arrange the cucumbers on a platter in a broad layer.
    5. Using your fingers, slip the peels off the beets. They should come off easily. Slice the beets one-fourth-inch thick, add in them to the remaining dressing and stir to coat well. Remove the beet slices with a slotted spoon and arrange them in an oblong mound on top of the cucumbers, centering them so there is cucumber showing around the edges.
    6. Sprinkle the feta over the top and serve immediately.
    7. This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
