Beet is very versatile, which has already been discovered by the food industry. The beet is even in your strawberry pudding inside! Actually, it is so inconspicuous, but beet is defenitiv a "superfood" for us. From this we now create a crunchy beet salad.



Ingredients

  • 200g beet (cooked)

  • 1 carrot

  • 1 avocado

  • 1TL caraway seeds

  • Some feta

  • A handful of arugula

  • Oil/Vinegar

  • Salt/Pepper


Instructions

First, boil the beet in salted water with the caraway seeds for about 20 minutes (if you don't want to do this, you can buy pre-cooked beet in many supermarkets).


In the meantime, peel the carrot and grate finely with a square grater. Wash the arugula and dry it with a salad spinner. Halve the avocado and cut into small cubes. Once the beet is cooked, peel it (we recommend gloves here) and cut it into small cubes as well.


Now put all the ingredients in a bowl and sprinkle the feta in small pieces. Finally, season the salad with vinegar, oil, salt and pepper.



Resumé

Ideal for the quick hunger. Beet is often underestimated, but appreciated by students, like me. You should definitely include this "superfood" in your diet more often. Especially because it is cheap and brings wonderful nutrients with it. Let us, from food for flexitarians inspire you and try the beet salad.

FAQ

Can I use raw beetroot instead of cooked?

Yes, but grate it finely since raw beetroot is much firmer than cooked, and it has a more earthy, slightly peppery flavor compared to the sweeter taste of cooked beet.

How do I keep the avocado from browning if I prep this salad ahead?

Toss the avocado pieces in a bit of the salad's vinegar or a splash of lemon juice to slow oxidation. It's still best to add avocado close to serving time for the best texture.

Can I make this salad vegan?

Yes, simply omit the feta or use a plant-based feta alternative. The beet, carrot, and avocado already provide plenty of flavor and creaminess on their own.
