We like beetroot and think it's a very misunderstood vegetable that should to be used more often. There is so much you can do with beetroot, from tasty salads to warm soups, pancakes and fun starters. In the Middle East it's a very commonly used vegetable.
This is a simple recipe for a beetroot salad with mozzarella that we make and love. This dish is a perfect starter for a dinner party instead of the traditional salad with tomatoes. Our advise is that you get rid of beetroot fobia and try this tasty recipe.
Ingredients
4-5 beetroots
250 g mozzarella cheese
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Black pepper, freshly ground
Salt (I prefer sea salt for a dish like this, but it's not a must.)
A handful of basil
1. Grill the beetroots in the oven for about 45 minutes (or until soft all the way trough) at 225°C.
2. Peel the beetroots.
3. Cut the beetroots into big chunks and place it together with pieces of the mozzarella cheese on a serving dish and mix gently. Sprinkle some olive oil on the dish and just a few drops of vinegar. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
3. Garnish with the basil leaves in a nice pattern and serve.
Enjoy!
