EASY BEETROOT SALAD
(serves 4-6 as a side salad – perfect for a
late-summer braai)
Ingredients
Salad
80-100 grams rocket
4-6 medium-sized cooked beetroots, cut into quarters
1 large orange, segmented and with each segment’s flesh removed
1-2 stems of sliced spring onion
30 grams fresh coriander leaves, removed from stems
1-2 danish feta discs, cubed
Dressing
(no specific measurements are necessary – make a whole bottle to keep in the fridge!)
50ml olive oil
50 ml balsamic vinegar
1-2 teaspoons of wholegrain mustard
1-2 teaspoons of raw honey
Method
Salad
Line a flat salad server with fresh rocket leaves
Place beetroot quarters on top of rocket
Add orange segments, spring onion and fresh coriander leaves
Place cubed Danish feta on top just before serving (to keep beetroot from ‘bleeding’ onto the white cheese)
Dressing
Mix all the ingredients to form an emulsion
Add salt and pepper to taste
