Are you accustomed to snack salads and consider that such a dish should be salty or spicy? But there are also sweet salads - original, tasty and healthy. For example, like our today's beetroot salad with plums, similar to dessert rather than salad. Bright, sweet - even capricious children will like it, and you can feed them with boiled vitamin beets!
Plums and beets - a combination of the original, is not it? But if you take a closer look and try it out ... Lilac “Hungarian” perfectly harmonizes with ruby beet, and the yellow centers of plums create a beautiful contrast. And to taste the company is suitable - remember the recipe for Bordeaux salad with prunes? So, this recipe is a summer, dessert version of spicy “Bordeaux”. Instead of prunes we take fresh, ripe plums; mayonnaise is replaced by sour cream or natural yogurt; pickled cucumbers - lemon juice, a clove of garlic - a berry of cranberries or raspberries, and it turns out a salad dessert!

Cooking sweet salad with plums and beets:
Wash vegetables and fruits.
Boil the beets in the uniform or bake in foil until soft. Cooking, like baking, takes about 40 minutes. Boiled beets immediately after cooking need to pour cold water for 5-7 minutes - it will be easier to peel. A baked and so easy to clean. Then rub the beets on a large grater.
Plums are better to choose those that have easily separated bones - for example, “Hungarian” varieties. Then you can carefully divide them into halves and cut into even slices.
Mix slices of plums with grated beets, sprinkle with lemon juice, sugar and salt, mix, taste and adjust the acid and sweetness, adding the necessary ingredients. Instead of lemon juice, you can use cranberry.
Fill the salad with sour cream or plain yogurt and mix.
We spread the salad with beetroot and plums on a plate, decorate it with a leaf of fresh mint - bright green color looks very elegant on cherry velvet of dessert salad. And for even more attractive dishes, you can decorate it with several berries of raspberry, blackberry, sprinkle with chopped walnuts, serve with plums. It’s hard to resist such beauty — even those who don’t really like salads will want to try an unusual dish!
