    Fabulous flavours! I used fresh beetroot which I'd roasted, rather than vaccum packed. I enjoyed this immensely.

    It's certainly a different way to use the vacuum-packed beetroot. I'm just very uncertain about using spinach without any pre-preparation or blanching. Whast do other folk find or think?

    I use spinach as my staple salad leaf as I love the flavour and living alone it keeps longer than lettuce. Do try it.

    I believe those are yellow cherry tomatoes juliee, sometimes I buy a pack that has several colours in.

    Gorgeous salad. We had it with the crispy greek pie also on this site. The salad dressing is perfect and goes so well with the beetroot. I have also used the dressing on beetroot with grilled goat's cheese which makes a lovely starter.

    Great salad, I put a poached egg on top to make it a bit heartier and served as a starter. Went down a treat with the flatmates
