How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh red beetroot
- Prioritize selecting beetroots that are firm, not soft, and have unwrinkled skin, with leaves intact.
- The bottom of the beetroot is round, which usually indicates a sweeter taste, while the flat-bottomed beetroot tends to be less sweet.
How to choose fresh carrots
- Choose carrots that have fresh green tops tightly attached to the body.
- Good carrots are those with a deep orange skin, shiny surface, and no unusual tiny black spots.
- You should select carrots that are of balanced size, not too large; if they are too big, they may be overripe and contain a lot of fibers, making them less tasty when cooked.

How to make Beet Salad
-
Prepare the vegetables

Peel the carrots and onions, then cut them into thin strips.
Peel and slice the shallots thinly. Chop the walnuts into small pieces.

Prepare beetroot
Cut off the root and the top of the beetroot, then use a knife to pierce the body of the beetroot slightly so that it cooks faster when roasted.
Next, place the beetroot in aluminum foil along with half a bulb of garlic cut in half, then add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and use your hands to rub evenly so that the salt and olive oil adhere to the beetroot and garlic. After that, tightly wrap the aluminum foil and roast for 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
Once the beetroot is done roasting, let it cool, peel off the skin, and cut into 6-8 small pieces for easy eating.
Tip: If you do not have an oven, you can steam or roast the beetroot in an air fryer. -
Prepare the dressing
The roasted garlic from earlier, peel it, squeeze out the cloves inside, and put them in a bowl.
Next, add 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil, 1.5 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper into the bowl with the garlic.
Smash the garlic and mix the dressing thoroughly so the spices blend together.
Tip: Depending on your family’s taste, you can adjust the seasonings for the dressing.
