Beetroot and Yogurt Salad with Walnut

This Beetroot and Yogurt Salad with Walnut, is quick and tasty recipe for a light start to the new year.

But don’t worry, those who know me know that I bounce back very quickly afterwards, and for the curious, know that the next recipe is really gourmet since I’ve concocted a Swiss fondue for you….

I’ll tell you more soon, but in the meantime, let’s get back to this salad!

To make this recipe, I took inspiration from one of my cookery books, Simple from Ottolenghi, but as usual, I’m unable to follow a recipe 100%, so I adapted it according to my mood of the day and what I had in the cupboards at home.

I really like this recipe, full of freshness and flavor. If you don’t have or don’t like spices and fresh coriander, that’s okay, you can still serve this recipe with the basic ingredients that almost all of us have on hand: beet, yoghurt, garlic, salt and pepper!

It’s ready in 5 minutes and everyone in our family loves it!

It can also be expanded into a main course by adding a few pieces of pita or Lebanese bread, for example, as well as chopped endives or hard-boiled quail eggs cut in 2.

Bon appétit!
