Today I show you my recipe Beetroot Salad with many step by step photos to prepare. The beetroot tastes best fresh and homemade.

If you know the beetroot only from the glass, then try this recipe. You can cook the turnips either in the pot, in the steam cooker or in the pressure pot. Prepared in the pressure pot, the turnips are ready in a flash.

After cooking, you can peel the boiled turnips under running cold water and then let them cool down. Then it goes into the marinade.

I will show you how to prepare the marinade step by step in the following photos. Good luck!

The beetroot salad tastes particularly delicious cut into thin slices.

The preparation is quite simple…

Cook the turnips in salted water until soft. Use a pressure pot, then it goes faster.
Then pour the turnips into the sink and peel with cold water.
Peeling is very easy, the skin peels off easily.
Let the turnips cool lukewarm, then cut into fine slices and place in a bowl.
Add white wine vinegar, salt, sugar, pepper, oil and freshly ground caraway seeds.

Mix the salad and marinate for 15 minutes, then serve quickly and enjoy. I have already written elsewhere about the health effects of beetroot!

Beetroot tolerate vinegar or lemon juice, you can also add Dijon mustard to the marinade.

Notes

The smaller the turnips, the shorter the cooking time. The piercing of the beets is considered a faux pas, but I have already halved large beets to reduce the cooking time. Wash the turnips well before cooking, only clean turnips come into your pot! 🙂
