This beetroot salad is an all in one dish with a mixture of root vegetable that can be called a plate of sunshine. Beetroot salad is very popular in Mauritius, a perfect picnic meal that can be eaten on it own or with some crusty bread. I had to share this recipe in my book as it's one salad that remind me of big family picnics when everyone will bring a different dish and all will be laid out and shared. Childhood memories.
You can add hard boiled eggs to the salad.

Start by boiling or steaming the vegetables. If boiling place a pan of water to heat, bring to the boil, season with salt and cook the vegetables leaving the skin on.
2

Cook until softened but still firm. To check if cooked using a sharp knife piece in one of the vegetable if it goes in smoothly you know the vegetable is cooked.
3

Meanwhile prepare a vinaigrette with the rest of the ingredients. Place all the ingredients in a bowl mix and leave to marinate while vegetable is cooking.
4

Once the vegetables are cooked drain and leave to cool down before peeling.
5

Peel the cooked vegetables, thinly slice them.
6

Place on a large mixing and sprinkle the vinaigrette over.

A little advice: add the vinaigrette to the sliced vegetables while they are still warm.
8

Leave to rest until the vinaigrette totally immerse into the vegetables.
