how I got this idea

In Sweden rödbetssallad is a thing, and one I don’t eat as the creamy pink sauce includes vinegar. So during Medeltidsdagar 2026, when they said that the vegetarian option for lunch one day was rödbetssallad, I was afraid. But the cook knew that I don’t eat vinegar, so he made me one without sauce, and I loved it. Cooked beets, raw apples, salad, almonds. That’s it. Yum!

I have made it for myself many times since then, as one can buy pre-cooked beets in the vegetable section of the store.

variations

  • use melon instead of apple. Not as good, but quite ok if a hose guest buys a melon that needs using up
