Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra crunch, lightly toast the corn kernels in a dry pan before adding them to the salad.
- Roast the beetroot beforehand for a sweeter and earthier flavor. Allow to cool completely before dicing.
- Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as shredded red cabbage, avocado, or bell peppers of different colors.
- If you don't have apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar or even a splash of lemon juice can be used as a substitute.
