Beetroot salad

Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 2 tubers beetroot, large
  • 2 apples, e.g. Braeburn
  • 50 g nuts, chopped or sliced
  • 100 ml balsamic vinegar (elderberry balsamic vinegar)
  • 100 ml oil (argan oil or macadamia oil)
  • apple juice
  • Spice(s) (tomato seasoning salt)
  • maple syrup

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest period approx. 1 day; Total time approx. 1 day 20 minutes

fruity, crunchy and delicious

Slice the raw beetroot very thinly using a slicer, then slice again with a knife. Finely dice the apples, add them, and fold in the nuts. Mix the remaining ingredients to make a dressing and drizzle over the salad. Use a generous amount to allow the salad to infuse well. Leave to marinate in the fridge overnight if possible. The beetroot will lose a lot of its earthy flavor and gain a fruity flavor; it’s simply delicious. Since vinegar and oils have different flavor strengths, I haven’t specified any additional amounts for apple juice and maple syrup. I recommend using good products from delicatessens. With salads, the dressing should carry and enhance the flavor.
