It is necessary
- - beets - 300 g;
- - smoked fish (it is recommended to take salmon or mackerel fillets) - 200 g;
- - garlic - 2 cloves;
- - olive oil - 1-2 tablespoons;

Instructions
Step 1
But just gnawing a root vegetable raw or boiled is sad. Therefore, it is worth preparing some interesting appetizer. For example, beet salad with smoked fish.
Step 2
The first step is to bake the beets. Of course, the root vegetable can be boiled, but it is the baking method that leaves the maximum amount of useful things in the vegetables. And the beets will taste better.
Step 3
Wash the vegetable thoroughly, remove the tops and other inedible parts, dry with a towel. Now wrap each beet in two layers of foil and place in the oven preheated to 200C. The root crop will be prepared for 1-1, 5 hours. A medium-sized vegetable should cook within this time.
Step 4
To test if the beets are cooked, remove one from the oven, unfold the foil and try to pierce with a fork or toothpick. If the manipulation succeeds and the inserted object penetrates the root crop freely, then the vegetable is ready. You can take the beets out of the oven and unfold. Peel the cooled beets, cut into circles or thin strips, transfer to a deep bowl.
Step 5
Now you need to prepare the dressing. To do this, combine vinegar, olive oil, mustard and garlic, passed through a press. Sprinkle the chopped vegetable with the resulting mass.
Step 6
Cut the fish fillet into small pieces or mash with a fork, as you like.
Step 7
The salad is recommended to be served in portioned plates. Put the dressed beets in a heap, and the fish on top. You can use sprigs of parsley and lemon wedges as decoration. Stir the appetizer before use. Salad ready!
