As an introduction, I have to say, I just fell in love with those beets ! Aren't they beautiful. I think they look like roses... Anyway, this wasn't the beginning I thought I would do. Here is just a super simple recipe for a salad that will brighten the gloomy winter days:These beets are Chioggas. Or you can also call them candy stripes beetroot. They are an italian heirloom variety from the 19th century. And they are very tasty raw or cooked (once cooked, they become pink).Here is how you can eat this salad:
Ingredients:
a couple of chioggias beets
Olive oil
Basil
Maldon salt
Non vegan option: goat cheese and honey
Steps:Use a good mandoline or a sharp knife to cut the beetroot into thin slices. Spread some olive oil, cut basil and the salt. If you are not vegan you can add some goat cheese that can be sprinkled and some honey. It's all super nice and healthy!And now: enjoy! Do you also have simple recipes to share for the winter?
