Beetroot Salad (a)
(b) Beetroot - slice the cooked beetroot into a pretty dish and pour over a little balsamic or cider vinegar, small amount of olive oil, salt, pepper and sugar or maple syrup to taste - mix well.
* this is a quick recipe, but I do think if you make this from scratch, with raw beetroot, it does have more depth of flavour. Though it would, of course, take longer to cook.
