The Greek Beet Salad is a fresh and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is a variation of the classic Greek salad, which usually includes tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta cheese. The addition of beets adds a unique flavor and texture to the salad, and the walnuts provide a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. The salad dressing is made with Greek ingredients such as olive oil, oregano, and red wine vinegar, which give it a tangy and herbaceous flavor. This salad is a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet and is a perfect choice for a vegetarian or vegan meal.

2.	Add the sliced beets and chopped walnuts into the bowl.
