Beetroot for the refrigerator can be prepared in two ways: cook or bake in the oven. Boiled beets lose their bright and saturated color, most vitamins and nutrients are digested in the process. But a baked vegetable is another matter! All vitamins remain in place, beets are just as bright and appetizing.

Kefir for cooking, you can take any fat content. In the original, you need a fat 12% kefir, but here you already need to focus on your taste preferences.

1. Beets are thoroughly washed, dried. We pack it in foil. We send the package to the oven preheated to 200 degrees. Bake for two hours. Then let the vegetable cool down. If these are two small beets, they will bake much faster, about one hour.

2. The finished beetroot is cooled, then peeled. The prepared vegetable is grated on a coarse grater. We put it in a saucepan, fill it with drinking water so that it more than covers the beets. We send it to the refrigerator for one hour.

3. Meanwhile, we put the chicken eggs in a saucepan, fill it with water, and send it to the fire. Cook for 7 minutes from the moment the water boils. Then we put the eggs in a container with ice water, let them cool down. The cooled eggs are cleaned from the shell. One of them is rubbed on a coarse grater, and five are cut in half.

4. Cucumbers are washed, grated on a coarse grater. My green onion and dill, cut finely. We put cucumbers and green onions in a saucepan with beets, add grated eggs here. Pour cold kefir, salt and pepper to taste. Mix it up.

5. We lay out the refrigerator in portions, add chopped dill and half an egg.

Bon appetit!
