Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make roasted beet salad? Everything is very simple! Prepare the necessary ingredients. Wash the beets under running water and be sure to scrub with a brush or the hard side of a sponge to remove soil particles. I recommend walnuts: they perfectly highlight the sweetness of beets. But the greens can be anything: from spicy cilantro to calmer-tasting parsley.

Step 2

Step 2
Beets must be peeled using a small knife or vegetable peeler. Chop the beets into thin strips. You can grate the vegetable on a coarse grater. The finer the beets are chopped, the faster and more evenly they will cook.

Step 3

Step 3
Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan and add the beets to fry. Fire is medium. I have a steel frying pan, but when starting out on your cooking journey it may be safer to use a non-stick frying pan.

Step 4

Step 4
Beets should be fried, not stewed! Therefore, we do not cover it with a lid. Roasting times may vary due to the quality of the beets, the cut chosen and the utensil used. I fried mine for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. And you focus on the softness of the beets. As soon as the piece can be easily broken, move on to the garlic. Grate the garlic on a fine grater and add to the pan. Because garlic contains a lot of sugar, it can burn quickly.

Step 5

Step 5
Place the beets in a bowl and season with lemon juice and salt.

Step 6

Step 6
Just before serving (directly in salad bowls), garnish the dish with finely chopped fresh herbs and finely chopped walnuts. Bon appetit!
