Beetroot, Orange and Walnut Salad
My husband has always been a good cook - his mother taught him, and she had a real knack for tasty meals that didn't take forever to make or need exotic ingredients. (She was a domestic science teacher for part of her life - I suspect her pupils were very lucky students)
This last year, he's been focusing on vegan recipes, and some of them are absolutely delicious.
Here's one of my favourites. It should be eaten as a main meal. The quantities aren't included, because they don't need to be exact, and you can tweak as you like.
It also has the added bonus of looking very pretty on the plate, with the dark purple beetroot and the orange segments, with the walnuts scattered around.
Beetroot, Orange and Walnut Salad
Ingredients:
Beetroot (in slices)
Oranges (1 per person)
Walnuts
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive oil
Method:
Par boil the beetroot, while peeling and chopping oranges

If available some green salad would be an appropriate addition.
