I rarely watch TV. Even, we can say that not every month I allocate time for serious viewing. But if I get to see him, then by all means on a sensible transfer. So it happened with the story in which they talked about the benefits of beets.

So I wanted to tell you about my raw beetroot salad and its variations.

About the benefits of beets

It turned out that all this root vegetable gives us only being raw. And when cooked, it turns into ballast substances: color, smell, fibers are still present, and everything else goes into the water. Even cooking in Zepter dishes does not guarantee the safety of vitamins.

The easiest raw beet salad

Beets are very hard, if you bite them off from a large piece, you need a lot of strength. Therefore, it is good to grate it (peeled and dried) on a grater, which is used in cooking Korean dishes... You can already offer thin long stripes (without fear of breaking your teeth) to your household. Raw beets are very sweet. Therefore, I propose to make it a little sharper.

• beets - 0.5 kg;
• red hot ground pepper- 0.5 tsp (no slide);
• coriander (seeds) - to taste;
• salt to taste;
• vegetable oil to taste.

Recipe:

1. Add red hot ground pepper to the grated beets. If there is a homemade dried pod, then that's even better. Remove the seeds and crush the pulp in a mortar. Add coriander seeds there and also crush. It will give a wonderful scent.
2. It remains to salt and water vegetable oil.
3. Salad ready. A minimum of components - an excellent result.

Don't expect raw beetroot salad to be enjoyed by everyone. The dish is unusual, especially for those who prefer not to eat it at all or, at worst, boiled in a vinaigrette.

The quality of dried fruits greatly influences the taste of the salad. You need to buy prunes tender, slightly dried. Dried into stone, and then soaked (or brewed with boiling water) and sour - will not work.

For cooking you will need:

• beets - 500 gr;
• prunes - 200 gr;
• nuts - 100 gr;
• onions - 100 gr;
• dill (seeds) - 1 tsp;
• salt to taste.

Recipe:

1. Grate beets for cooking Korean vegetables.
2. Cut the delicate prunes into the finest strips.
3. Crush walnuts, but do not turn them into flour.
4. You also need onions. Sliced, scalded and drained in a colander.
5. Dill seeds are required for perfume. They can be suppressed with a rolling pin between sheets of paper. It is important here that they become a little softer and give flavor.
6. Now collect everything in one bowl, add a little salt, pour over with vegetable oil, mix and - on plates.

This salad is usually made from boiled beets, no dill seeds are added, and garlic is added for piquancy.

An equal amount of beets and radishes is taken for the salad. For half a kilogram of vegetables, you need lemon juice (it's good if there are fibers in it); crushed coriander seeds, salt and vegetable oil to taste.

Both root vegetables (raw) are well washed, peeled and dried. If there is a device so that you can turn radishes and beets into shavings, then that's great. If there is no adaptation, then the usual one will do. korean grater... There is a subtlety here: you need to stretch a piece of root crop along the entire length of the grater to get something that looks like chips, at least in size. It is especially easy to do this with beets of the "" or "Daughter Cylinders" variety.

Beetroot salad with turnips

If more turnips are taken, then the salad will be from turnips. But the color will be given by beets ... So, we will cook a salad of raw beets with turnips.

Here I will make a small digression. I do not like turnips of the "Petrovskaya" variety - tough, bitter. No matter how I tried to follow the recommendations in order to grow a turnip acceptable to taste, which the family of the fabulous grandfather really liked, I never succeeded. Turnip is another matter " White Night". Juicy, crispy, lettuce, white, tastes like a radish. It can be eaten just like an apple. Very tasty! I grow this turnip and store it in the cellar. In winter, raw beetroot salad with this turnip is delicious!

For cooking you will need:

• beets - 100 gr;
• turnip - 300 gr;
• onions - 100 gr;
• coriander (seeds) - 1 tsp;
• vegetable oil to taste;
• lemon juice - to taste.

Recipe:

1. We take turnips and beets. All the same - a Korean grater, but try not to grind it, so that the stripes turn out more authentic.
2. Add chopped turnips to them.
3. And another teaspoon of crushed coriander seeds to add flavor.
4. Vegetable oil to combine all the flavors into one.
5. And for piquancy - lemon juice.

They say that this is how they eat in monasteries. Delicious beetroot salad with onions, nuts, prunes and honey.

For cooking you will need:

• beets - 1 kg;
• onions - 200 gr;
• nuts - 200 gr;
• prunes - 300 gr;
• coriander (seeds) - 2 tbsp. spoons;
• honey - 2 tbsp. spoons;
• vegetable oil to taste.

Recipe:

1. Cut the beets into thin slices. Boil the water, add vinegar there, and pour the beets in a colander with this acidified water. Wait for it to drain. That's the whole heat treatment.
2. Finely chop the tender prunes, finely chop the onion, crush the coriander seeds, make the honey runny. Although not every honey thickens: sainfoin honey in winter looks like ghee lard that is stored in the kitchen cabinet. You don't even need to warm it up, it flows easily by itself.
3. You can not spare vegetable oil, pour at least half a liter, but you should not make a dish of raw beets with a salad of oil.
4. And the final chord is crushed nuts.
