Who tried beetroot?
Somehow or perhaps, I sometimes ate Beetroot on a salad early, but Anyone has tried beetroot or beetroot on a Salad?

All the beets please. Roasted and pickled and red and yellow. Yes.
Ukrainian beet soup (borscht)
Just steamed, peeled, sliced, salt, eaten hot
Blended smooth into hot creamy soup
Not a big fan of cold foods but beets are tasty.
Also the leaves are tasty too! Stir fry!
Also consider barszcz czerwony with uszka dumplings ≽^•⩊•^≼
Urrraagh!! Gimme the dumplings now!! >..< want to eat!!!
Yes! im personally quite offended when i hear borscht and not barszcz. Czerwony or biały!
Sorry, am dumb foreigner, didn't know any better. Thanks for teaching :)
Edit: today I learned it's a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage item!
This makes me nostalgic for Christmas. love those little ears filled with mushrooms, yum!
I'm eastern European and beets are a part of my blood. My favorite thing to do with beets, aside from eating them like candy once they're roasted, is Ukrainian beet salad.
Roasted beets
roasted potatoes
roasted carrots
peas
raw onion
sauekraut
pickles
sunflower oil
salt
use proportions with the heart of your ancestors and mix. Best left for a few hours to meld before eating.
If you're having a standalone salad grated beetroot can fit in well (similarly to grated carrot) or even small cubes of baked beetroot if you're doing the sort of salad which incorporates other baked veggies like pumpkin or kumara.
If you're making something like a sandwich, burger, or wrap which includes salad then pickled beetroot (the type you get in cans) goes well with that.
My favourite beetroot salad: bake them with their skins on, peel them, cut them into cubes. Mix them with salty cheese (ex. Feta), some walnuts and a dash of vinegar. The result is a nice combination of textures & tastes.
I've tried beet. I'm not a fan. There's something that just tastes wrong to me in a way I cannot put my finger on. It's both sweet and savory in a way that I find unappealing. It's kind of like eating something you when it's cold, but when it's warm, except you can't get beet cold enough to get the flavor I want it to be.
The most common time I've seen beet is on salad, and unfortunately I've only had one with beet that I actually liked.
I like it, but especially: beetroot juice before a workout - it reduces the amount of oxygen required for aerobic workouts. I have set every one of my 5K personal records with beetroot juice
study
In my school, a common entree that I liked a lot was diced baked beetroot with a tasty light vinaigrette that I've never been able to find again. I like beetroot a lot.
I really like beetroots but beware the juice, it will stain bad!
And surprising when the liquid is done being processed by your body :D
Love beets. I have a garden bed of them in need of harvesting and half will get pickled while the other half are kept in root cellar storage for roasting or boiling later. My favorites are simple roasted beets or pickled.
