Instructions
Peel beet and cut into pieces no larger than 1/2-inch (1 cm). Place on large baking sheet and toss with about 1/2 tsp (2 mL) of the oil and salt and pepper to taste. Roast in 400°F (200°C) oven, stirring twice until tender, about 15 minutes.

In medium serving bowl, stir together apples, lentils, carrot and parsley; gently stir in beets. Whisk together remaining oil, lemon juice, garlic and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper; stir into salad. Sprinkle with bacon and feta. Serve at room temperature.
