The big health benefits of beetroot salad
Beetroot plays a starring role in a number of delicious salads and sides and for good reason. They’re an excellent source of folate, magnesium, potassium, iron and vitamin C. Not only are they full of essential nutrients, but they’re also associated with a whole host of health benefits — from lowering your blood pressure to brightening your skin.
As they’re easy to digest and a great source of fibre, light beetroot dishes make the perfect accompaniment to a heartier meal — keeping your gut happy, along with your tastebuds.
Along with beetroot, our salads feature calcium-rich feta cheese, healthy leafy greens and a tangy citrus dressing, packed with vitamins. So no matter how you choose to enjoy your salad — alone, or alongside a meal, you’ll be benefiting from a whole host of added nutrients in your meal.
Feasting on beets like a Greek
Beetroot is a staple of Greek cuisine, with the seasonal vegetable growing in different places around the country and Greek islands. As a result, there are a number of traditional dishes that feature beetroot prepared throughout Greece.
Pantzarosalata is one such dish, featuring vibrant tender, cooked beets served with accompaniments that perfectly complement the beetroot flavours. This salad is all about contrasting flavours, with the earthy, mellow beets tossed in a sharp acidic dressing before the salad is assembled. The salad is usually prepared with a variety of herbs and greens to add freshness, and walnuts for crunch.
Greek-style beetroot salad often accompanies a main dish, however, it can also stand alone as a delicious, filling and healthy vegetarian meal.
