Beetroot Salad - Real Recipes from Mums

This salad is truly amazing and guaranteed to be a hit.

Ingredients (serves 12)

8 whole beetroot
250 grams frozen raspberries
2 tblspns seeded mustard
3 tblspns balsamic vinegar
1 cup oil

Method

Roast beetroot with skin on in the oven for approx 2 hours (put a skewer through to check they are soft inside before removing).
Set aside to cool before removing/peeling off skins.
Blend raspberries, seeded mustard and balsamic vinegar and while blending gradually add the cup of oil.
Serve beetroot on a large plate and pour over the thick raspberry dressing.

Notes

Note: I raspberry dress one end and throw a few extra raspberries around for garnish. The other end I chop some spring onions with a few boiled eggs. A lovely naturally sweetish salad for a BBQ or with grilled/pan fried steak.

What a different way to serve beetroot. I’m loving the raspberries and mustard with it, and I’ll definitely make this for our next bbq. Thanks!
