This is a bright, tangy, and refreshing salad that's perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is really delicious, and the pickled beetroot adds a beautiful pop of color to the dish. It's also really easy to make, and it can be made ahead of time, so it's a great option for busy weeknights.
I first had this salad at a restaurant in San Francisco, and I was immediately hooked. The combination of flavors was so unique and delicious, and I knew I had to recreate it at home. I experimented with different recipes until I came up with this one, and I'm really happy with the results. It's now one of my go-to summer salads, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
