Last Updated on Wednesday, 16 January, 2019

This colourful roasted beet salad is super tasty and nutrient rich. It is sweet and tangy, crunchy and creamy, and satisfying!

Delicious flavours and wonderful textures are why this salad is just so popular. The soft, earthy caramalized beets, crunchy raw carrots, and juicy sultanas are balanced perfectly by the creamy white Stilton and tangy pomegranate syrup.

Packed with vitamins and minerals, this certainly is feel-good food! 

Serve with roasted/barbecued meats, or as a light meal with a piece of freshly baked bread to soak up the dressing.

Roast the beets for a delicious full flavour. First wash them carefully so the skins don’t split. Place them on a baking tray, leaving their skins on so the juices don’t run. There’s no need to add oil. Bake at 375°F/190°C for 1 hour, or till tender enough to be pierced by a fork. Then allow to cool and peel off the skins before cutting each beet into quarters. This could be done a day ahead and the beets stored in the fridge for easy prep the following day.

TIP: to remove beet stains easily from fingers and more information on beets, read Love your beets.

Assemble the salad before serving.

The sultanas I used are from the brand Crazy Jack Organic (I used them to make this yummy Cardamom and Sultana Tea Loaf). There’s no need to soak them first as they are juicy as they are.
