Beetroot salad
Salads are usually the stars of summer dining tables. That´s no surprise. There are thousands of recipes for these fresh dishes and it is almost impossible to tire them given their endless variety. For example, this beetroot salad with white tuna in pickled sauce has been sent in by La Cocina de Manel y Pilar. Although some ingredients are reminiscent of Russian salad, beetroot adds a very personal touch.
