How to make beetroot salad with herring and grapefruit
- Beets - 4 pcs.
- Grapefruit - 2 pcs. Red
- Red onion - 1 pc.
- Herring - 2 pcs. fillet
- Olive oil - 50 ml
- Honey - 1 tsp
- Wine vinegar - 1 tbsp white
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper - to taste
Preparation: Step 1
The most useful, of course, is the beetroot baked in the oven, but this method will take a lot of time to bake the root vegetable. And when you need to quickly cook beets, use the microwave. In addition to quick cooking, this method also preserves vitamins and a bright saturated color of beets as much as possible, moreover, no dirty dishes.
Wash the selected beetroot tubers thoroughly, do not dry. Prick the surface in several places with a toothpick.
Fold the beets in a baking bag, tie it up and be sure to make some holes for the steam to escape.
Place a plate of beets in the microwave and turn it on at the highest power, cook for 10-15 minutes. When it turns off, keep the beets in the oven for another 5-7 minutes - the cooking process is still going on. The cooking time here depends not only onthe power of your microwave, but also on the number and size of beet tubers.
While the beets are "baked", you need to extract the "fillet" of grapefruit. This is done very simply.
First, cut off the top and bottom of the fruit until pulp.
Cut the peel into strips - as shown in the photo.
The boundaries of the lobules between the membranes became visible - cut these lobules along them.
Pour the juice remaining after cutting the grapefruit into a bowl - it will be needed to make the sauce.
To prepare the sauce: use a fork to combine the grapefruit juice, olive oil, honey and vinegar. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Chop the rest of the salad. Herring fillet - in portions, onion - in thin half rings. Peel and chop the beetscube or plates.
Arrange the prepared food on plates, sprinkle with parsley leaves and pour over the sauce.
Here is a new modern taste in the classic combination of beets and herring! I hope you enjoy it too!
