Beetroot & Orange Salad

The inspiration for this interesting salad was from our recent trip to Tanzania. They served this for lunch and we absolutely loved it. The unique blend of the flavors of the sweetness of beetroot and the sour-sweet orange makes this salad quite flavorful. Unfortunately, I did not get the exact receipe from the chef so I trusted my sense of taste and smell to guess the contents. And of course, I added my touch!


Ingredients:
•1beetroot
•1 orange
•1 tbsp olive oil
•Handful fresh coriander

1.Wash the beetroot, scrub to remove any mud. Immerse it in water and boil in microwave for 15-20 mins or until tender. (Cooked beetroot keeps in the fridge for about 3 days, if in a sealed container.) Immerse in cold water and drain. Then slice into small cubes.
2.Peel the orange. Cut it in half. Separate the segments, removing the pips. Or, slice into rounds.
3. Combine the beetroot and orange. Add olive oil and mix well. Add salt and ppper to taste

4.Optional: You may also add finely chopped coriander.
