Apricot, Beetroot & Goat Cheese Salad

By
beets and apricot salad

The earthy beetroot is the perfect companion to the perfumed and sweet apricot; the goat cheese brings the creamy element to the dish, and the pistachios the crunch. In other words, Apricot, Beetroot & Goat Cheese Salad is a fulfilling and colourful salad! My mom introduced me to that recipe. The original version featured raspberries and beets, and I initially had reservations about the unusual combination of goat cheese, beets, and raspberries. However, once I tried it, I was completely won over! Try this Apricot, Beetroot & Goat Cheese Salad. You won’t regret it! Such a satisfying, earthy, vibrant, and refreshing salad!

Valentino Salad

Valentine’s Salad is a perfect starter for a romantic dinner, it’s an earthy and colourful salad with roasted beets, strawberries, Roquefort cheese, sunflower seeds and arugula topped with aged balsamic vinegar for a romance in style. If there is something I like about blogging recipes is to choose a name for my recipes.
