Raw beetroot salad with cheese and pear

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a salad of raw beetroot with cheese and pear? There is nothing complicated here. First, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. It is advisable to choose beetroot young, juicy, not sluggish, with elastic skin. If the beetroot is small, you can take not 2, but three pieces.

2. Step 2:

   

   Lightly pierce the walnuts in a dry frying pan and chop with a knife. If desired, you can replace the nuts with cashews, hazelnuts or cedar. Or in general, instead of nuts, add peeled sunflower seeds fried in a dry frying pan.

3. Step 3:

   

   Crumble the cheese or cut it into small pieces. You can take any cheese, as long as it is not hard. Suitable for feta, soft brine cheese, Adyghe or cottage cheese, cheese with mold, brie or camembert. But keep in mind that if your cheese is salty enough, then you need to salt the salad with caution.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wash, dry and finely chop the salad leaves. I have a frillis salad - it's juicy, easy to cut and looks beautiful. Instead of frillis, you can use other greens, for example, spinach, arugula, ready-made salad mixture.

5. Step 5:

   

   Peel the beets and grate them on a grater for Korean carrots.

7. Step 6:

   

   Peel and seed the pear. And also grate on a Korean grater. It is advisable to choose a ripe pear, but of hard varieties, so that a long straight rather rigid chip is obtained. Since the pear darkens quickly enough, it is advisable to rub it with the very last one, just before mixing all the ingredients.

8. Step 7:

   

   In a bowl, combine chopped grated beets and pears with chopped lettuce leaves.

9. Step 8:

   

   Pour lemon juice over everything, add salt, pepper and mix. I repeat that you need to salt the salad based on the salinity of the cheese. If you have salty cheese, you may not need to salt the salad at all. Therefore, before adding spices, taste the cheese.
