Another simple beet salad! With these kind of recipes, we are actually becoming rather avid fans of beets. Simply cook the beets. I baked mine, which took a long time. I feel like there has to be a better way of cooking whole beets. To bake them you wipe them off with a dry paper towel. Then you can bake them at 400 degrees for an hour. The skin will just slide off with your fingers after that.
To stuff the beets, you hollow them out with a spoon or knife. According to the recipe, you then stuff the beets with a mixture of one cup plain yogurt, one tablespoon honey, a few tablespoons of nuts, and two apples diced small.
This mixture was quite tasty, but there is more leftover than winds up in the beets. Also, now you have extra beet that you have scooped out.
You could save this for another recipe. Or, I mixed it in the remaining apple-mix, and served it as a side salad. In fact, while the stuffed beets were a treat, I feel like you would bring out the same flavors by just shredding the beets and adding them to the apple-mix.
These beets were so pretty, and I had a difficult time capturing that with the camera. The meal was sweet, but not too sweet. All in all, a good salad if you enjoy beets & apples as much as we do.
Are you using the macro setting on your camera? It looks quite good. It would be nice to get one whole frame shot with a stuffed beet.
ReplyDeleteA good beet is surprisingly sweet.
