Ingredients
Serves: 8

Method
Prep:5min › Cook:30min › Extra time:1hr chilling › Ready in:1hr35min
Scrub and wash beetroots thouroughly under running water.
Put into pan with enough water to cover them and boil in medium heat for 30 minutes or until they are tender.
Rinse under cold water, peel (now the skin comes out easily with just a little squeeze of your fingers). Cut into slices, cubes, whatever you like.
Prepare yoghurt: in a bowl blend yoghurt, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper and half the olive oil. Add the beetroots and the chopped walnuts in the yoghurt mix, reserving a few pieces of beetroot for garnishing.
Place salad in bowl. Decorate it with pieces of beetroot and walnut halves and drizzle with the rest of the virgin olive oil.
Tip: You can omit the yoghurt and walnuts and serve beetroots with salt, vinegar, olive oil and finely chopped garlic.
