About the Recipe

Beetroot is a vibrant, nutrient-packed vegetable that shines in any salad, and pairing it with the right dressing can truly elevate its flavor. Merci Mon Ami Sesame Soy Vinaigrette brings a perfect balance of nutty, savory, and slightly sweet notes, making it the ideal complement to earthy beets.

Ingredients


Why Beetroot and Sesame Soy Vinaigrette Work Together

Beetroot’s natural sweetness and earthy undertones pair beautifully with the rich, umami flavor of sesame and soy. The vinaigrette’s subtle acidity enhances the beet’s texture and taste, while its smooth, slightly creamy consistency coats each vegetable evenly, ensuring every bite bursts with flavor.

Ingredients for a Fresh Beetroot Vegetable Salad

  • 2 medium roasted beets, sliced or cubed

  • 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens

  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber

  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots

  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts or pecans

  • 2–3 tablespoons Merci Mon Ami Sesame Soy Vinaigrette

  • Optional: crumbled feta or goat cheese


Preparation

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beets: Roast or boil until tender. Let cool and slice or cube.

  2. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine greens, cucumber, carrots, and roasted beets.

  3. Add the vinaigrette: Drizzle 2–3 tablespoons of Merci Mon Ami Sesame Soy Vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to coat.

  4. Finish with toppings: Sprinkle toasted nuts and cheese, if using, for extra texture and flavor.

  5. Serve immediately: Enjoy as a side dish or a light, healthy main course.

Tips for Maximum Flavor

  • Roast the beets with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt to intensify their natural sweetness.

  • Add a touch of citrus juice or zest for a refreshing zing.

  • For a crunchy contrast, sprinkle pomegranate seeds or toasted seeds on top.
