Beetroot with garlic and mayonnaise.

Today in almost every supermarket you can buy a variety of salads. However, a dish prepared by yourself will always be much tastier. We will not consider those recipes that take a lot of time. The subject of our conversation is beetroot with garlic and mayonnaise.

To prepare this all-known salad, it will take just a few minutes. The main thing is to always have cooked beets at hand. We will consider several variants of this dish. And start our conversation with the basic recipe.

Beetroot with garlic and mayonnaise is prepared very simply. Yes, and some special ingredients for this are not needed. Perhaps, every housewife always has two small beets and a few cloves of garlic. The most common mayonnaise is ideal for filling this salad. Here, in principle, and all that is required for the preparation of this dish.

I do not think anyone should be reminded that the beetroot should be pre-cooked. And for this root to cool as quickly as possible, put it in cold water for half an hour. During this time, you can prepare the appropriate dishes for the future salad, and also clean the garlic.

So, to your attention, beets with garlic and mayonnaise. Peeled beets rub on a large or medium grater - it's already someone like it. Garlic is passed through the press or finely chopped. It remains only to combine these two ingredients together and fill our salad. You can salt a little, if necessary. Beetroot with garlic and mayonnaise is ready for use.

For those who do not like classics, we suggest to diversify the recipe of this dish. So, for example, finely chopped walnuts will give some piquancy to this salad. Moreover, now we will consider one more option.

Beetroot with walnuts is ideally combined with an apple and raisins. However, the technology of cooking such a dish is slightly different. In this case, cooked beets and fresh apples are cut into cubes, and the walnuts are crushed. As for raisins, it must be previously soaked. At the final stage of preparation of this salad we combine all available ingredients, fill with mayonnaise and sprinkle with greens on top.

Salad, as you could see for yourself, is extremely simple. However, due to this combination of products, it causes a vivid taste sensation. You will spend a little time preparing it, but you will please yourself and your family with a rather unusual dish.

On this fantasy on the topic of beets do not end there. Believe me, there are many other possible variations of cooking this vegetable. To your attention, beetroot and cheese. We will offer you several recipes for such a combination of products. You will choose for yourself the most acceptable option. And start with the simplest.

We clean the boiled beet, cut into strips and season with sour cream. Before serving, sprinkle our salad with grated cheese.

And now we complicate the recipe a little. As always, we start with beets. We clean it and three on a large grater. Chop the garlic and add to the beetroot. We take the cheese (preferably if it's hard varieties) and also rub it on a large grater, and then combine it with the above products.

The peculiarity of this salad is that prunes are added here, which must be held for about ten minutes in hot water. After that, it is cut into strips and mixed with the rest of the ingredients.

There was a final touch, namely crushed walnuts. Now, when all the ingredients of this salad are gathered together, we fill it with mayonnaise and serve it to the table. If desired, decorate with parsley sprigs.

In conclusion, it only remains to add one: refueling to this dish can also be slightly changed. Take sour cream and mayonnaise in a one to one ratio, stir and season our salad. His taste will become a bit softer. Enjoy your meal!
