Beetroot and Goats Cheese Salad


This is a lovely way of using up the masses of beetroot that are making it into my veg box at the moment. The sweet beetroot with the sharp goats cheese is great, and really wakens up the taste buds in the dead of winter.

4 or so beetroot
handful of parsley
goats cheese

Boil the beetroot with their skins on in salted water until just tender. Let them cool a little and then peel them and slice thinly. Drizzle a little olive oil over them, chop the parsley roughly, scatter it and the crumbled goats cheese over the beetroot, and season with a little salt and black pepper.

I've always loved beetroot and thought of it as a really sexy food. Great to see a new take on this wonderful vegetable.

I love how serving beets with something white (yoghurt / goat's chees) results in a shocking pink sauce...
