Instructions
- Prepare the necessary set of ingredients: beets, onions, garlic, wine vinegar, vegetable oil, salt and spices (chmeli suneli, coriander, hot red pepper).
- Beets should be washed without damaging the skin and the tail (so that all the juices and vitamins are better preserved), wrapped in two layers of foil, placed on a dry baking sheet and sent into a heated to 200 degrees oven for 40-55 minutes. Baking time depends on the size of the beets.
- If there is no opportunity to bake the beets, you can boil them in the rind.
- Grate the beets on a coarse grater or cut into julienne. Place in a bowl.
- Cut the onions into half rings, pour boiling water over them for 5 minutes and then rinse with clean water, thus removing the bitterness.
- Add the onions to the beets.
- Finely chop the dill and parsley.
- Place in a separate bowl.
- Chop the nuts not too finely with a knife.
- Add the nuts, crushed garlic, salt and all the spices to the bowl.
- Pour in the wine vinegar and stir.
- Mix the beets and onions with the marinade.
- Dress with vegetable oil.
- The salad will taste better if you let it stand for 30-40 minutes before serving.
Very tasty!
Bon appetit!
