Even a beginner can make a beetroot saladfor novice cooks. No special skills are required for this, and an excellent result is simply guaranteed. Especially if you make a salad with beets and prunes. You just need to properly boil the beets and, of course, choose the right recipe. We offer recipes for such a salad for your choice
Simple salad from beets and prunes
The simplest recipe, for which we will need the following ingredients:
- Prunes - 5-6 berries
- Medium beet - 1 piece
- Salt and mayonnaise for refueling
Preparation: Boil the beets.This can be done in two ways. Simply boil the beets for two hours until they become soft, or boil them until half-cooked, and then cool them under running cold water. Of course, you can buy already boiled beets. So, peel the cold boiled beets and cut the pulp into small bars or cubes. Soak the prunes in warm water in advance, then let them dry and also cut them into cubes. Put the chopped ingredients in a salad bowl, add a little (one or two pinches) of salt and mayonnaise. Mix the salad and start eating. If you prepare this salad in advance, then add salt and mayonnaise to it only before serving. Otherwise, the beets will separate into water, and the salad will turn out runny.
Salad with beets, cheese and prunes
This is also a fairly simple recipe, differing from the previous one only by the presence of cheese. Ingredients:
- Prunes - 5-6 berries
- Medium beet - 1 piece
- Cheese - 100 g
- Salt and mayonnaise - according to your taste
Preparation:Boil the beets until soft, peel them and cut into pieces. Finely chop the prunes (if soft, just wash them, if hard, soak them in advance). Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Then put the beets and prunes in a salad bowl, and mix the cheese with mayonnaise and salt. Season the salad with cheese and mayonnaise sauce and serve.
Dessert salad from beetroot
Dessert, oddly enough, can also be made from beets. For it we will need the following ingredients:
- 1 large beet
- 5-7 prunes berries
- 1 handful of walnuts
- Sour cream and sugar
Preparation:Boil the beets until half-cooked, then peel them and cut into circles or half-circles. Place the beet circles on a greased baking sheet, sprinkle with sugar and put in the oven. Bake the beets over low heat until the sugar melts into caramel. While the beets are baking, crush the walnut kernels and cut the prunes in half. Remove the finished beets from the oven, put them into bowls, pour sour cream over them and sprinkle with nuts. Decorate with prune halves on top.
Salad from beets, prunes and dried apricots
