Beetroot Salad, Smoked Salmon and Courgette Fritters


Just a little something I threw together the other night for dinner with vegetables that are growing sparsely in our garden. Even the courgettes are letting me down this year.

For the courgette fritters I can recommend the link to my recipe here.
I added spring onions/scallions instead of a 'normal' onion, a few sweet and sour chopped up gherkins and a tablespoon of capers.

I grabbed a few beets and boiled them till tender. Peeled and sliced them. I put them aside in a dressing made with honey, stem ginger syrup, olive oil and white wine vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper. Oh and fresh dill !

A tub of sour cream (200 grs) and a heaped tablespoon of horseradish sauce was a nice accompaniment for the whole dish.

Serve with the smoked salmon and lettuce leaves it made for a lovely and refreshing dinner.

    1. Yeah, courgette fritters are so versatile. You can add different herbs/spices to suit the 'cuisine' you're going for. xxx...x

  2. I will be arriving for lunch at 1pm, so you had better scuttle back into the kitchen and prepare something mouth wateringly delicious of a vegetarian nature - er' no need for wine as I have given that up.
    Cheers !
