Step 1:
How to make a salad of fried beetroot? It's very simple! Prepare the necessary ingredients. Wash the beets under running water and be sure to rub with a brush or the hard side of a sponge to remove soil particles. I recommend walnuts: they will perfectly emphasize the sweetness of beets. But the greens can be any: from spicy cilantro to a more calm taste of parsley.
Step 2:
Beets must be peeled with a small knife or vegetable peeler. Chop the beets into thin strips. You can grate the vegetable on a coarse grater. The smaller the beetroot is cut, the faster and more evenly it will fry.
Step 3:
Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan and put the beets to fry. The fire is medium. I have a steel frying pan, but at the beginning of the culinary journey it will be safer to use a non-stick frying pan.
Step 4:
Beets should be fried, not stewed! Therefore, we do not cover it with a lid. The roasting time may be different due to the qualities of the beetroot, the chosen cutting and the dishes used. I fried mine for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. And you focus on the softness of beets. As soon as the piece is easily broken, we turn to garlic. Grate the garlic on a fine grater and add it to the pan. Due to the fact that garlic contains a lot of sugar, it can burn quickly.
Step 5:
Put the beets in a bowl and season with lemon juice and salt.
Step 6:
Just before serving (right in the salad bowls), decorate the dish with finely chopped fresh herbs and finely chopped walnuts. Bon appetit!

The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
