I made the basic recipe initially, and liked it. A good beetroot salad, possibly a little on the sweet side for my personal taste, but definitely a 4* recipe. Then, just as I was starting to write this review, I wondered what the suggested variation might taste like, so I headed back to the kitchen to add the orange blossom water, cumin and paprika as indicated in the recipe's introduction. Because we'd already eatern half the beetroot, I scaled down the quantities, and I didn't bother adding the water. It was fantastic! A 5* recipe! I can see this variation of your recipe becoming a staple in our house. Thank you.
