Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a sweeter salad, add 1/4 cup of dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots.
- Roast the beetroots for a deeper, more intense flavor. Toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting at 400°F (200°C) for 45-60 minutes.
- If you don't have walnuts, pecans or toasted pumpkin seeds make a great substitute.
- Adjust the amount of vinegar to your liking. A little extra can add a nice zing.
