Preparation of Red Beets in Salad
To prepare red beets in salad, first, if you have fresh beets, clean them by removing the green tuft and roots.
Then wash them very well and cook them in plenty of water for at least 35 minutes.
You can cook them with the skin to remove it once cooked, which will be much easier.
If you have precooked beets, obviously skip the boiling.
Squeeze the lemon and grate half of its peel, then place the filtered juice in a small bowl.
Add the grated peel, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper and mix to create an emulsion with a hand whisk.
Remove the core from the apples, cut them in half, then into thin slices; you can also peel them if you prefer.
Immediately immerse them in the prepared emulsion and mix to flavor and prevent browning.
Once the beets are cooked, peel them and cut them first in half, then into slices.
Finely chop the walnut kernels, wash and dry the salad greens.
In a serving dish or salad bowl, arrange the mixed or baby lettuce of your choice, apple slices, and beet slices, sprinkle with chopped walnut kernels, and drizzle with the remaining citronette.
