Salad with beets and nuts PP

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with beets and nuts? Prepare your food. Take ready-made beets, boiled or baked. Walnuts are also suitable. You can take seeds instead of nuts. Choose any salad as greens, I have a mix, it will be very tasty with arugula - it will add a bright spicy note.

2. STEP 2

   

   How to cook beets? You can simply boil it in a saucepan in water. To do this, wash the root vegetables well with a brush, fill them with cold water and place on medium heat. After boiling, reduce the heat and cook the beets for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the fruit. You can also bake beets in foil in the oven at 180°C for 30-40 minutes. Or in the microwave at maximum power for 6-8 minutes. Cut the cooled and peeled beets into large cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Take a flat dish and place salad greens on it. Rinse it first and dry it well with a paper towel or in a special dryer. Tear large leaves with your hands - when they come into contact with metal, the greens quickly oxidize and wither. Place beet cubes and cheese on top. If it is hard enough, cut it into cubes. Mine was soft, I plucked off pieces with my hands.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sprinkle the salad with nuts. You can lightly fry them in a dry frying pan first. If you took walnuts, chop them into small pieces.

5. STEP 5

   

   Prepare the dressing. To do this, put mustard in a bowl and pour lemon juice into it. Choose mustard that is tasty, not too spicy, or you can take it without grains. Pour in vegetable oil. Any kind will do, olive or regular sunflower, with or without scent, choose according to your taste. Stir the dressing until smooth.

6. STEP 6

   

   Salt and pepper the salad to taste. Keep in mind that it contains quite salty cheese. Pour the dressing over the salad and serve immediately - salads made from greens do not last long, as they quickly wither.

7. STEP 7

   

   Bon appetit!

The salad with beets and PP nuts looked very appetizing, so I decided to make it. The salad is prepared quickly, because... I pre-boiled the beets. Peeled the beets and cut them into small cubes. I tore the lettuce leaves with my hands and finely chopped the nuts (I used walnuts). My cheese was soft and, like the author, I plucked off pieces with my hands. I placed lettuce leaves, beets, pieces of cheese, and nuts on the dish. For the dressing, I mixed mustard, lemon juice, and vegetable oil. I poured the dressing over the salad. I didn’t add salt to the salad, because... salted cheese. The taste of the salad is simply amazing: all the ingredients complement each other perfectly! Thank you very much katushafin for such deliciousness and I advise you to try it 😊

I agree that this one goes well with arugula. I personally only eat it with arugula and use Dijon mustard. I tried a version of this salad for the first time in some coastal cafe in Kaliningrad
