This simple beetroot salad with fresh herbs makes a great side dish for a BBQ, potluck or picnic\u2026or simply as a fall side dish. This has been my go-to salads lately since I have been getting loads of beets (with fresh beet greens!) from my organic farm delivery. And this time of year, I also love to take advantage of all the fresh herbs that are available. And fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro and mint (also dill by the way) go great together with earthy roasted beets. I always vary my recipe a little depending what group of herbs I have on hand, but this is the version that I recently shared with friends and they all loved it. Even those who don\u2019t like fresh cilantro cause it tastes like soap <\/a>. They never knew it was there and even enjoyed a second helping. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Fresh herbs pep up a simple beetroot salad<\/h2>\n

I really love the combination of parsley, cilantro and mint together in this beet salad recipe but sometimes I just do a version of this salad with a few sprigs of parsley, dill and mint and throw in some capers or a little crumbled feta cheese for extra saltiness. Or yet another version with orange filets, parsley and mint and feta. There are endless ways to make a delicious and simple beet salad.<\/p>\n

\nBeetroot salad tips<\/h2>\n

I like to make the dressing for this beet salad early on in order to let the flavours meld. Which means I usually make the dressing when the beets are almost done roasting. This gives the dressing time to develop while I peel the beets and let them cool. And when I am making the salad to bring to a BBQ or potluck, I like to pack the beets together in a container and the dressing in a glass jar and then mix them together before serving, or when we put the grill on. I find this also lets some of the juices from the beets to come out, which together with the herb dressing, taste so nice when tossed together.<\/p>\n

As for any additions, I love this simple beet salad as it is, but feel free experiment and add cheese (crumbled feta, goat\u2019s cheese, or even Roquefort), and a little crunch with roasted almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts. Let me know if you stumble upon an mega tasty ingredient combo\u2013I would love to hear! Hope you enjoy.<\/p>\n
