Moroccan Red Beet Salad
- Reviews 4
Ready In: 55 mins
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs beets
- 2 -3 teaspoons sugar (at home I make this with Splenda)
- 1 large lemon, juice of
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin
- 1⁄8 teaspoon sweet paprika (pimenton)
- 3 -4 tablespoons parsley
- 2 teaspoons water
- salt
- 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier (optional)
Directions
- Trim the the long root tip off the beets, leaving about 1/2 inch of stem on the tops. Scrub the beets rather well taking care not to damage the skin.
- Place the cleaned beets into a large heavy saucepan filled with water and bring to a boil. Cook until the beets are cooked tender. This can vary from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size of your beets.
- When the beets are cooked, pour out the boiling water and run the beets under cool running water. Reduce the temperature of the beets to a point where they can be handled. The skins should be fairly loose.
- Peel and trim the beets. Dice into bite sized cubes about 1/2 - 3/4 inches.
- Mix together all remaining ingredients and pour over the slightly warm beets. Toss and place in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.
