Lovely fresh salad in winter (and summer). Serve with home made salad dressing(see separate recipe) with cold meats or on its own.
Ingredients
- 1 jar sliced pickled beetroot.
- 2 carrots
- 4 stalks celery
- 1 red onion
- 1 apple
Salad Dressing
- 1 jar sliced pickled beetroot.
- 2 carrots
- 4 stalks celery
- 1 red onion
- 1 apple
- 1 oz butter
- 2 tablespoons distilled (white) vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon made mustard
- 1 egg
- pinch salt.
Method
- STEP 1I would advise you to wear fine latex gloves when preparing the beetroot - otherwise your hands will be quite stained.
- STEP 2Dice the beetroot, cooked carrot and apple. Put all these into a medium-sized bowl. Chop the onion finely. Cut the celery into small pieces. Add these to mixture and stir to allow the flavours to develop.
- STEP 3Allow the salad to stand for at least one hour before serving.
- STEP 4For the dressing, melt the butter in non-stick saucepan. Beat egg, vinegar, mustard, sugar and salt and add to pan. Heat very gently, stirring all the time until custard-like. Allow to cool. Add cream or milk to salad dressing before serving. The dressing should be like thick cream. The dressing can be kept in the fridge for one week.
