Pickled Beetroot Salad
A classic South African pickled beetroot salad, offering a delightful balance of sweet and tangy flavors. It's an essential accompaniment to any braai (barbecue).
🧂 Ainekset
- 2 cans (approx. 400g each) Canned Beetroot
- 1 medium Red Onion
- 4 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 80 ml White Vinegar(Or apple cider vinegar for a slightly different flavor profile.)
👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Prepare the vegetables: Drain the canned beetroot thoroughly. Slice the beetroot into bite-sized wedges or rounds, about 5mm thick. Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Make the pickling liquid: In a small bowl or jug, combine the granulated sugar and white vinegar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. You should have a clear, syrupy liquid.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 3
Combine and chill: In a medium-sized non-reactive bowl (glass or ceramic is ideal to prevent staining), gently combine the sliced beetroot and red onion. Pour the dissolved sugar and vinegar mixture over the vegetables. Toss gently to ensure everything is coated.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 4
Marinate and chill: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the onion to soften slightly. The longer it chills, the more intense the flavors will become.
⏱️ 1 hour
