Sesame Ginger Golden Beet Salad
We are big fans of golden beets in our house, they’re incredibly nutritious, extremely tasty, and dang beautiful! I prefer these golden beets to the red, as I find them sweeter and they become a beautiful yellow after they are roasted.
Since these golden beets are sweeter than normal, it makes it a perfect match for a nutritious salad with a ponzu vinaigrette.
Let’s Breakdown the Ingredients!
This dish is quite simple, but is packed with the nutrients you need! Here is what you’ll need to make this delicious golden beets salad:
The main ingredient in this salad is golden beets! As opposed to regular red beets, the golden ones are sweeter but are still rich in vitamins and minerals.
The fresh ginger and green onions balance the earthy flavours from the golden beets. Ginger adds a sweet but peppery taste to the salad, and the green onions have a milder onion taste that does not overpower the dishes they are added in.
Ponzu vinaigrette is a classic Japanese condiment with a tart-tangy flavour. This vinaigrette is made with lime, sesame oil, low sodium soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar. Originally this sauce is citrus-based, so the juice of lime has a tart, acidic citrus flavour. The sesame oil adds a nutty taste, while the soy sauce balances a salty and sweet flavour in the dressing. The addition of rice wine vinegar also complements the acidic sweetness of the vinaigrette.
