It looks pretty, but we didn't like the "bitter" taste... I used a sweet onion instead of red onion and chose to use lime - maybe that made the difference?

Yummy! I haven't had beetroot/beet for years because of my diet, but I really wanted to eat some today so I chose to make this salad with the tin of beetroot. I had to substitute raw beetroot with a tin beetroot, and chopped them instead of grated, used fresh basil and choose lemon juice. Thank you NinaK-K for posting

I had this salad on New Years Day. It was an easy recipe to put together. Everyone at the party loved the flavour combination and asked for the recipe. This is a keeper. Thank you for sharing.
