Instructions
- For a salad, it is better to take fresh and juicy vegetables. Wash and peel the vegetables. Grate the beetroot on a medium grater, chop the onion arbitrarily, not very finely. Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or vegetable oil) into a frying pan, add beets and onions, simmer over medium heat under the lid, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar, sugar and salt, reduce the heat and simmer for another 5 minutes, turn off the heat. If the beet dries up and starts to burn, you can add 1 tbsp of water.
- Add the beetroot. Prepare the dressing by mixing 1 tablespoon of olive oil with 1 tablespoon of vinegar. I add some fresh herbs to the dressing, chopped with a blender (optional). Season the salad, add a pinch of the spice mixture and mix. Add salt to taste. During the non-fasting period, you can add 2 hard-boiled and grated eggs to the salad, which will give the salad additional tenderness. Before serving, let the salad stand in the cold for about an hour.
