"Balanse" er et ord jeg liker, positivt ladet og kan nesten utelukkende tolkes til noe bra. For meg som er glad i bakverk og søtsaker så må det nødvendigvis "balanseres" litt innimellom, og derfor lager jeg ofte lette måltider. Etter en slik lunch/middag synes jeg at en dessert er rettferdiggjort, altså "balanse", yin&yang, eller kall det hva du vil ;)
Denne salaten er en fest både i smak og i utseende, jeg liker at en munnfull mat inneholder flere teksturer og her får man rikelig med crunch kombinert med friske, rene smaker. Styr unna å bruke de halvgamle grønnsakene i bunnen av grønnsaksskuffen her, bruk sprø, friske komponenter og spar heller de bøyelige gulrøttene til suppe eller en gryterett.
I like the word "balance", it's a positive word, and it can hardly be interpreted into anything else than something good. I am one of those people who has a (very) sweet tooth, hence I do need to adjust the balance food-wise every now and again. But after a meal like this I feel that a rich dessert is justified in every way, that's "balance" to me ;)
This salad is a feast both for the eye and for the tastebuds, I love a mixture of textures and this has crunch as well combined with fresh, clean flavours. Avoid to use the old(ish) veggies from the bottom of your vegetable drawer here, use crisp, fresh ones and use the bendable carrots for a soup or stew instead.
Du trenger:
(ca 2-4 porsjoner, avhengig av om det er en forrett eller et måltid i seg selv)
1 rødbete (fersk, ikke syltet!)
1 gulrot
1/2 fenikkel
noen reddikker
4 håndfuller blandet salat, f.eks ruccola, romanosalat, spinat
3 ss eplecider-eddik
god extra-virgin olivenolje
hakkede friske urter, f.eks bladpersille, basilikum, mynte
Skyll alle grønnsakene godt, spinn salaten tørr i en salatslynge om du har en sånn. (Da slipper du en vanndam i bunnen av salatskåla etterpå.)
Skrell og skjær rødbete og gulrot i tynne skiver, skjær også fenikkelen i så tynne skiver du kan. Ha alt over i en bolle.
Bland inn salatblader, større blader (som f.eks hjerte- eller romanosalat) rives opp i litt mindre biter.
Bland inn eplecider-eddik og la dette få stå noen minutter. Hvis du lager salaten på forhånd, dekk den til med plast og sett i kjøleskapet.
Når dere skal spise: bland inn de hakkede urtene, litt salt og pepper og god olivenolje.
Servér med litt godt brød om du vil, og litt ekstra olivenolje til å dyppe brødet i.
You'll need:
(2-4 servings, depending on whether it's a starter or a meal in itself)
1 beetroot (fresh, not the pickled kind!)
1 carrot
1/2 bulb of fennel
a few radishes
4 handfuls mixed salad leaves, such as rocket, romano salad, spinach
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
good extra-virgin olive oil
fresh herbs, chopped, such as flatleaf parsley, basil, mint
1 beetroot (fresh, not the pickled kind!)
1 carrot
1/2 bulb of fennel
a few radishes
4 handfuls mixed salad leaves, such as rocket, romano salad, spinach
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
good extra-virgin olive oil
fresh herbs, chopped, such as flatleaf parsley, basil, mint
Wash all your vegetables well, spin the salad in a salad spinner if you have one. (In this way you'll avoid a pool of water in the bottom of the salad bowl later.)
Peel the beetroot and the carrot, then thinly slice and do the same thing with the fennel. Put into a bowl with the salad leaves (tear larger leaves into smaller pieces).
Add the apple cider vinegar, toss to mix then set aside for a few minutes. If you're making the salad ahead, just cover it with some cling film and place in the fridge.
When you're ready to eat: add the chopped herbs, a little salt, pepper and olive oil, toss to combine.
Serve with some nice bread if you like, and some extra olive oil to dunk the bread into.

I like your balance theory Maria! ;))
