Super dish for late night’s dinner!
I already had cooked beets at home so I made this salad in like 15min. It's super easy, warm and tasteful 😍 unpopular opinion: I prefer autumn salads to summer ones 😂
4/5 warm, 3/5 the next day having been in fridge overnight. Used air fryer for beetroot. Could do with a bit more of the delicious dressing per portion
I feel so healthy eating this salad and it’s very light. I made double of the dressing though because I like it saucy 🤪 Great summer salad!
OMG!😲 I was a little bit sceptical about this recipe but decided to try and can't tell you how good it was... Refreshing,filling,light and delicious. Thank you so much for this invention 😀
Refreshing and still filling at the same time - a delicious recipe!
Cảm ơn bạn chia sẽ những công thức rất bổ ích!
Hello! This looks SO good and I can't wait to make it, but I have one quick question. Is the dressing stored separate for up to 2 days in the fridge as well or can it be stored longer? I am trying to figure out the logistics of making this for my lunch for a few days for only myself. lol!
yummy! use buckwheat instead of quinoa.
One question: where is the circle that shows the vegetables, carbs/grains and protein? i miss it
Hello
Love your easy tasty and very nutritious meals
Would love it if you included the protein content.
Thank you
I loooooove this one! Especially the dressing. It's so good.
It's also perfect for holidays and when you have friends or family coming over for lunch or dinner.
