Ingredients

  • 2 large red beetroots, scrubbed and trimmed
  • 2 large English cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, shaved thin
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon hone y
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius and wrap beetroots individually in aluminum foil.
  • Roast beetroots for 45 minutes or until a paring knife easily pierces the center; allow to cool completely.
  • Peel the roasted beetroots and dice into 1-centimeter cubes.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to create an emulsified vinaigrette.
  • Place the diced beetroots, sliced cucumbers, and shaved red onion into a large chilled mixing bowl.
  • Add the chopped dill and parsley to the vegetables.
  • Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently with silicone spatulas to prevent bruising the cucumbers or over-staining with beetroot juice.
  • Serve immediately at a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius for optimal freshness.
