Step-by-step preparation
- How to make a beetroot salad with garlic and mayonnaise? Prepare all the necessary products. To make the salad completely homemade, and therefore healthier, you can make your own mayonnaise at home.
- To make the salad, the most important step is to boil the beets themselves. You need to boil them for about 1-1.5 hours, depending on their size, until they are ready. This time I decided to bake the beets. To do this, wash each root vegetable under running water with a brush, dry it with paper towels, wrap it in foil, and put it in an oven preheated to 180-190°C. Bake the beets for about 50-60 minutes. Then take it out of the oven, unwrap it, and cool it.
- Peel the cooled beets and rinse them in cold water, then pat dry. Then grate each root vegetable on a coarse grater and put it in a salad bowl. If desired, cut the beets into thin strips or small squares.
- Peel the garlic cloves and put them through a press. You can also chop the garlic on a fine grater or with a knife. Add the chopped garlic to the salad bowl with the beets. Choose the amount of garlic to add to the salad individually, as one clove will be a lot for some, and five cloves will be not enough for others. Therefore, add one clove at first, mix, taste, and add more if necessary.
- Add mayonnaise to the salad. How much mayonnaise to add? The beetroot salad is juicy and you don’t need to add a lot of mayonnaise. But whoever likes it, I have seen people who like to pour mayonnaise over the salad. In addition, when I add mayonnaise, I no longer put salt in the salad. But if you think that the salad is not salty enough, you can add more salt to taste.
- Mix the salad well, cool it slightly and serve it to the table. Garnish with chopped parsley or dill. It is a great dinner accompaniment to many dishes. Enjoy!
Beet salad with garlic and mayonnaise is considered one of the healthiest salads at any time of the year. Both of these vegetables can easily be stored for a long time in the stocks at home or bought at any grocery store. The cost of such a salad will be minimal. This salad is a base for many other salads: you can add walnuts, prunes, salted herring or boiled eggs to it and you will get a new salad every time. Try it, experiment!
