How good is beetroot! Especially when baked in the oven for a dash of olive oil. Not only pretty in colour, its one of the main superfoods!
Gluten Free Superfood Beet Salad is packed with simple ingredients with maximum flavour. The panfried red onions are the key adding a sweetness that compliments the earthy flavour of the beetroots.
Why I Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it looks so fancy, because I feel healthy eating it variery of veggies! I sometimes add a fried egg as well for extra protein!
SUPERFOOD ALL THE WAY!
Ingredients
- BEETROOT: Grab a bunch from the store. Give them a good wash and chop to your liking. I dont peel the skin as this is where the goodness hides. Just make sure to chop off the top part to avoid any sneaky dirt particles.
- BABY SPINACH: Your salad base
- FETTA: I love goats fetta! However, any fetta will compliment this dish
- RED PEPPER: Here in Australia, we call them capsicums, but you will need one red bell pepper for this recipe.
- RED ONION: Sliced and panfried to the delicious natural sweetness.
- FRESH HERBS: Parsley or Dill
- TO SERVE: Add a fried egg if you are after more protein in your day!
Instructions
- Let’s get cooking! First, heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F.
- Line an oven tray with baking parchment paper and place the chopped beetroot on top. Drizzle with olive oil. Salt and Pepper
- Onions – Slice the red onion and panfry in a frypan with a dash of olive oil. Secret ingredient – a sprinle of raw sugar to assist with caramelisation of the onions
- Once the beets are cooked – lets create! I love to serve my Salads on platter for my family or a crowd and if its just me, on a plate. Start with your baby spinach, add your baked beets, fresh herbs, sliced peppers, crumbled fetta and caramelised onions.
- Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Squeeze lemon juice if you fancy a little tang.SO GOOD!
