Moroccan Red Beet Salad image

Another recipe from the kitchen of Momma Simo. This is my best guess from watching her make it. I have since tried this at home with measuring and this is pretty darn close. There is one optional ingredient which while not terribly authentic works really well in this dish.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs beets
2 -3 teaspoons sugar (at home I make this with Splenda)
1 large lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon sweet paprika (pimenton)
3 -4 tablespoons parsley
2 teaspoons water
salt
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier (optional)

Steps:

  • Trim the the long root tip off the beets, leaving about 1/2 inch of stem on the tops. Scrub the beets rather well taking care not to damage the skin.
  • Place the cleaned beets into a large heavy saucepan filled with water and bring to a boil. Cook until the beets are cooked tender. This can vary from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size of your beets.
  • When the beets are cooked, pour out the boiling water and run the beets under cool running water. Reduce the temperature of the beets to a point where they can be handled. The skins should be fairly loose.
  • Peel and trim the beets. Dice into bite sized cubes about 1/2 - 3/4 inches.
  • Mix together all remaining ingredients and pour over the slightly warm beets. Toss and place in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.

This salad is a great way to sneak some extra vegetables into my diet. My kids love it and they don't even realize they're eating beets.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I always have a few beets left over after making borscht and this salad is a great way to use them up.

This salad is so versatile. I've used different types of nuts, cheeses, and even fruits. It's always delicious.

I roasted the beets in my air fryer instead of the oven and they turned out perfectly. The air fryer gives the beets a nice crispy exterior and a tender interior.

I added some crumbled goat cheese to this salad and it was amazing! The creamy goat cheese added a nice richness and depth of flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of beets, but this salad changed my mind. The beets are roasted to perfection and have a wonderful caramelized flavor. The dressing is also very well-balanced and complements the beets perfectly.
