Instructions

Making your Crisp Cucumber and Beetroot Salad is both simple and enjoyable. Here are the steps to create this dish:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the cucumbers and beetroots thoroughly. If you are using raw beets, cook them until tender, then let them cool before peeling and slicing.
2. Slice the Cucumbers: Cut the cucumbers into thin slices or half-moons according to your preference.
3. Slice the Beetroots: Slice the cooked beetroots into similar-sized pieces as the cucumbers for a visual match.
4. Chop the Onion: Thinly slice the red onion to release its flavor without overpowering the salad.
5. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until emulsified.
6. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the cucumber slices, beetroot slices, and chopped onion. Pour the dressing over the salad.
7. Toss Gently: Mix carefully to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients without breaking the beetroot slices.
8. Garnish: Add freshly chopped herbs on top for an added touch of flavor and color.
9. Taste and Adjust: Sample your salad and adjust seasoning if needed.

By following these simple steps, you will have a beautiful and delicious salad ready to serve!
