Beetroot salad made from raw beets. Lean raw beet salad

General principle proper nutrition for a practically healthy person it says: if you have a choice to eat a vegetable raw or boiled, say "Yes!" raw.

Alas, we do not pay attention to raw beets, while losing its health benefits - the preservation of all vitamins, high fiber content and useful biologically active substances to support immunity, liver and vascular elasticity.

The best choice for weight loss. The glycemic index of raw beets is 2 times lower than that of boiled beets - 30 against 65.

Let's start with versatile salads, continue with savory ones, and end with important tips for choosing the sweetest beets in fresh salads.

Raw beets in Korean step by step

We remember Korean carrots and beets from childhood - from Soviet-era bazaars, where they seemed exotic. But the question of how to cook Korean beets at home has a simple answer! Consider with step by step photo this delicious and easy recipe.

We need:

  • Raw beets - 0.5 kg
  • Onion - ½ large onion
  • Vegetable oil - 70 ml
  • Granulated sugar - 1-1.5 tbsp. spoons
  • Extra grinded salt - 1.5 tsp
  • Coriander seeds - 1 tsp
  • Garlic - 2 large wedges
  • Table vinegar - 1 tbsp. spoon
  • Ground red pepper 0.5 tsp
  • Sesame seeds - if you love

We clean the beets and chop them on a grater for thin strips. We have it included in the irreplaceable set "Berner".

Cut the onion into large half rings and fry in a pan until intensely brown. Then we remove it from the oil. Our goal is to give the oil an onion aroma.

In a convenient large bowl, crush the beets with a slide and pour spices on the top - sugar, salt, red pepper, crushed coriander seeds, garlic, passed through a press.

Pour hot oil (from which the fried onions have already been taken out), right into the center of the top of our beetroot slide.

Mix and add vinegar. Let's try. Add or acidify to taste and firmly crush the whole mass, covering with a plate.

We send the salad in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Better - at night. When serving, add sesame seeds.



A personal test is required after mixing the beets with all the spices, sugar and vinegar. Add acid or salt to your taste.

Variations:

  • Finely chop the onion and fry until golden brown, so that, together with the butter, send the beetroot slide for hot pouring.
  • We do not heat the oil, but simply mix the beets with it, when all the spices and vinegar have been added. We leave this salad to infuse for at least 16 hours. This option will be approved by strict connoisseurs of a healthy diet. There is really little use in heating the oil, which makes the described preparation a compromise on appetite and familiar tastes.

  3. Now all that remains is to mix the beets with the marinade and let the salad brew for an hour or two in the refrigerator.
