Beet salad with garlic and mayonnaise

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make beet salad with garlic and mayonnaise? Prepare all the necessary products. To make the salad completely homemade, and therefore healthier, you can prepare mayonnaise at home yourself.

2. STEP 2

   

   To prepare the salad, the most important step is to boil the beets themselves. Until it is ready, it needs to be boiled for about 1-1.5 hours, depending on the size. This time I decided to bake the beets. To do this, rinse each root vegetable under running water with a brush, dry with paper towels, wrap in foil and place in the oven preheated to 180-190°C. Roast the beets for about 50–60 minutes. Then remove it from the oven, unwrap it and cool.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the cooled beets and rinse in cold water, dry. Then grate each root vegetable on a coarse grater and place in a salad bowl. If desired, you can cut the beets into thin strips or small squares.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the garlic cloves and pass through a press. You can also chop the garlic on a fine grater or with a knife. Add chopped garlic to the salad bowl with the beets. Select the amount of garlic added to the salad individually, so for some one clove will be too much, for others even five is not enough. Therefore, add one clove first, stir, taste, and add more if necessary.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add mayonnaise to the salad. How much mayonnaise should I add? The beet salad turns out juicy and you don’t need to add a lot of mayonnaise. But whatever you like, I’ve seen people who like to top their salad with mayonnaise. In addition, when I add mayonnaise, I no longer add salt to the salad. But if you think the salad is lightly salted, you can add more salt to taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix the salad well, cool slightly and serve. It can be decorated with chopped parsley or dill. It goes perfectly with many dishes for dinner. Bon appetit!

I really love simple homemade food like this. This beet salad with garlic and mayonnaise is very good with potatoes, and I also really like adding this salad to sandwiches. I spread curd cheese on the edge, then I put fresh vegetables, in this case a frillis leaf and a fresh cucumber, then a piece of boiled meat, maybe chicken, and at the final stage a beetroot salad. It turns out very satisfying, tasty and not dry; the beets add juiciness to the sandwich.

When I want something quick, tasty and healthy, I always cook beets with garlic and mayonnaise. I cook beets in the microwave, it’s much faster than boiling. I grated the beets on a coarse grater and squeezed the garlic through a press, first removing the core (the taste is milder). 30 minutes and the salad is ready!

I made a delicious beet salad with garlic and mayonnaise for lunch. The preparation of the salad itself took very little time; grating the beets and garlic, adding salt and seasoning with mayonnaise was not difficult, the main thing was to wait for the beets to cook. I took small cloves of garlic so that the salad would not be too spicy. I had large beets , cooked it for about an hour, then let it cool, peeled it, rinsed it and grated it on a coarse grater. Then I added the remaining ingredients, mixed and served the salad to the table. The beets in the salad came out sweet and juicy, with garlic and mayonnaise - truly delicious! We ate the salad with pleasure! Thank you very much for the recipe!
