The presented dish, in addition to taste, also has increased benefits. Beets contain a large amount of fiber to regulate metabolic processes in the body, prunes normalize the activity of the digestive tract, and nuts strengthen the immune system.

Beets are rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, potassium, silicon, cobalt, manganese, copper, molybdenum and chromium

Products:

• 1 medium beet;
• 2 pickled cucumbers;
• 1 apple;
• 100 g of prunes;
• 200 ml of boiling water;
• 100 g of shelled walnuts;
• 1 clove of garlic;
• 80 g mayonnaise;
• 50 g of hard cheese and herbs for decoration;

2. Peel the baked beets and grate with long strips.

   

   When chopping a vegetable, do not allow solid parts to get into the salad.

3. Grate pickles on a medium grater.

   

   If the cucumbers have a thick, coarse peel, then it must be removed before chopping.

4. Peel the skin and seeds from the apple.

   

   Peel the apple just before chopping, otherwise it will darken

10. Pass the garlic through a garlic press.

    

    Garlic must be fresh and juicy

I cook a delicious salad "The Queen of Spades" at least once a week. It is useful for both children and adults. For cooking, I take fresh large beets and boil them in a double boiler. So it retains all the nutrients and remains sweet. Sometimes, instead of walnuts, at the insistence of children, I add hazelnuts or peanuts.

The harmonious taste of healthy vegetable salad will appeal to both adults and children. All the ingredients of the dish are affordable, and preparation does not take much time.
