Beet Salad

Kitchen, Additional dish

Preparation Time:
30
Note:
Beetroot is a sweet vegetable, native to the Mediterranean. Humans have eaten this plant since prehistoric times, initially its leaves and later the underground part. It is an excellent source of folic acid, vitamin C, potassium, phosphorus, and the minerals iron and iodine. To cook beetroot, Cubans only use the root, but the leaves can also be used. Generally, we eat it in salads mixed with other vegetables, either grated or cooked. On this occasion, we present a very tasty salad that combines unusual flavors. However, I guarantee that it's worth trying. I am not a fan of beetroot at all, and I loved this recipe. I hope you decide to make it at home and share a photo with us on our social media.
Ingredients:
  • 1 boiled beetroot
  • 1 ounce of lemon juice
  • ½ red onion chopped into brunoise
  • 100 ml of natural yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons of cream cheese
  • 3 boiled eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of chives for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon of oil

For the presentation, I recommend serving it on a flat plate so that the volume, textures, and colors of this recipe are better appreciated. Add a touch of green with finely chopped chives and finish with a drizzle of oil, preferably olive oil.

Enjoy your meal!
