Colourful Salad

Finally the winter is coming to an end and the spring is just around the corner.
In the spirit of various traditions which celebrate that we decided to make a salad with lots of colours.

So we had:
- red beetroots
- green cucumber
- yellow paprika
- orange carrots
- white parsnip
- and the blue bowl, of course :)

For the dressing we used: olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper.

Happy Holi to our Indian friends! Happy Easter to the Westerners! And happy beginning of the spring to all!

Curled Root Veggies on a Strange Monday

Winter keeps sitting out there with strong perseverance so what can we do, really, but go back to our rootsy winter friends.

flaked raw beetroot
parsnip
zucchini
parsley
lemon
olive oil
shallot
salt
pepper


Hate me for the chili jam and use something else instead. Some red marmalade and sambal oelek maybe.

It was good, too, it really was. Please excuse the depressed winter language.
It is even better with the feta-walnut topping from Vegetarian Blutwurst Salad

P.S. What I find REALLY unfair is that hayfever season has started despite the fact that spring has not.
