   How to make a salad from beet tops? Prepare all the products indicated in the recipe. Instead of pine nuts, you can use walnuts or any other nuts of your choice.

   First of all, wash the tops. Rinse each leaf thoroughly to remove any remaining dirt and dust. Cut the leaves and stems into small pieces 4-5 cm long. Boil a small amount of water in a saucepan or saucepan. Place the tops in boiling water for 1-3 minutes. One minute will be enough for young thin leaves, but if the leaves are more mature and hard, then leave them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain the tops in a colander and cool.

Beetroot salad is a tasty and healthy dish that can serve as an addition to other dishes or as a light dinner on its own. This salad will be an ideal treat for guests, especially if you are planning a bachelorette party. Why bachelorette party? My husband doesn't particularly like it, I don't know why. Although no, I know: there are not enough proteins))
