Today I’m showing you my favorite winter salad : beet salad with oranges & couscous. The name alone sounds so incredibly delicious, doesn’t it? And it’s exactly as it sounds! This beet recipe is very easy and really quick to make. I hope you enjoy my beet salad recipe ❤️.
Beet salad with oranges – the perfect winter salad
This salad is one of my absolute favorites. I’m sure many of you are familiar with the situation where you don’t always manage to get the nutrients and vitamins you need in everyday life. But with my beet salad, it’s a breeze! And the beet, oranges and fresh herbs make it a real vitamin bomb. Not only that, but the taste is a real highlight thanks to the fresh and seasonal oranges. They taste best in the winter months!
Beet pre-cooked or not pre-cooked?
I used pre-cooked beet from the supermarket for this recipe. If you haven’t discovered them in the supermarket yet, then take them with you next time! It’s super practical, saves you a lot of time and you can quickly whip up a healthy salad. For me, pre-cooked beet is already firmly on my shopping list! We also like to snack on beet on its own in between meals or as a side dish.
Note on beet: Of course, you can also use uncooked beet for this salad and cook it yourself beforehand. However, please note that the preparation time will then be extended by approx. 40 minutes.
Over the pre-cooked beet
In the supermarket you can find pre-cooked beet in jars or whole tubers vacuum-packed in plastic bags. For this recipe, I used the vacuum-packed beet. Here, whole tubers that do not meet the “beauty ideals” are sorted out directly during the harvest, cooked and vacuum-packed in plastic bags. The great thing is that there is absolutely no loss of quality during this process.
