Ingredients

Fresh Toppings

4–5 long thin slices of zucchini (peeled or mandolined into ribbons)
1/4 cup (30 g) fennel, chopped
1/4 cup (30 g) cucumber, diced
3 small yellow beets, roasted and sliced
1/4 cup (30 g) vegan feta cheese, crumbled
A handful of fresh mint or your favorite fresh herbs

Basil-Yogurt Dressing

1/4–1/2 cup (10–15 g) fresh basil, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed and roughly chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup (120 g) unsweetened yogurt
A dash of white or black pepper

Apricot Sauce for Juicy Marbles Filet

2 tbsp apricot jam
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp soy sauce or tamari
2 tbsp water
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Juicy Marbles filet, cut into strips
Oil for cooking

Directions

Roasting the Beets

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the whole beets on a baking tray. No need to peel or oil them—the skins will help retain moisture while roasting.
Roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a fork easily pierces through. Let them cool, peel off the skin, and slice.
Pro Tip: Extra roasted beets can be stored in the fridge for up to a week for quick meals later.

Preparing the Zucchini, Cucumber, and Fennel

Slice zucchini into thin ribbons using a mandoline or vegetable peeler. This gives the salad a silky texture.
Dice fennel and cucumber into bite-sized pieces.

Making the Basil-Yogurt Dressing

Blend garlic and basil in a food processor until roughly chopped.
Add yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt, blending until smooth. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Cooking the Juicy Marbles Filet with Apricot Sauce

Mix apricot jam, sesame oil, soy sauce, water, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then sear the Juicy Marbles strips for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
Pour the apricot sauce over the meat, tossing to coat. Cook for 1–2 more minutes until the sauce caramelizes slightly.

Assembly

Arrange all the salad components in a large bowl or on a platter. Roll the zucchini ribbons for an elegant touch.
Top with crumbled feta and fresh mint. Drizzle with the basil-yogurt dressing.
Add the apricot-glazed Juicy Marbles strips on top. Sprinkle with extra herbs for garnish if desired.
