Beetroot salad with cumin is a bright and aromatic dish of Lithuanian cuisine that combines the sweetness of beets and the spiciness of cumin. In Lithuania, beetroot holds an important place in national gastronomy, and this salad is one of the simple yet rich traditional recipes. Boiled beetroot gives the salad natural sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the slight bitterness of onions. Dressed with sunflower oil and generously seasoned with cumin, it acquires a deep earthy aroma and a subtle spicy note. This salad can be served as a standalone dish or as a side to meat and fish.
