ReplyDeleteI've also made it a billion times since your place, so the betroot salad phenomena continues. As a quick alternative I do use canned whole betroot from the super market. Obviously not as fresh but still yummy, quick and nutritious xx
ReplyDeleteNice one Nat.
ReplyDeleteI love beetroot, fetta and rocket salads!
I'm growing my own beets too so will have to put them to good use soon!
A few months ago I had a lovely salad when I was out for dinner that had beetroot, lentil, rocket, fried mozzarella and walnuts in it... mmmm... super delish! :)
