Beetroot salad with raisins

4 servings

30 minutes

Beetroot salad with raisins is a vibrant dish of Bulgarian cuisine that combines the sweetness of fruits and nuts with the rich flavor of beets. Historically, this salad was popular in winter when fresh vegetables were scarce and dried fruits added nutrition to food. Tender grated beetroot mixes with tart-sweet apple, aromatic walnuts, and juicy raisins to create a harmony of flavors. A light mayonnaise dressing makes it soft and delicate while parsley adds freshness. This salad works well as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to meat and pairs wonderfully with fried or baked dishes. It is light, healthy, and rich in vitamins, making it an excellent choice for everyday and festive tables.
