- Beetroots
- Mushrooms
- Crispy bacon strips
- Green beans (princess beans)
- Curly lettuce
- Roasted nuts (of your choice)
- Fresh parsley
- Garlic cloves
- Pepper and salt
- Nutmeg
-
Begin by cooking the beetroots along with the green beans and a splash of red wine vinegar.
-
Remove the green beans when they are almost tender, as they will continue to cook with the residual heat.
-
While the beans and beetroots are cooking, sauté the mushrooms in a separate pan. Season them generously with fresh parsley and garlic. Add a small amount of cooking fat and a dash of water at the beginning to prevent sticking. Continue cooking until they are nicely browned and tender.
-
Once the mushrooms are cooked to your satisfaction, remove them from the pan.
-
In the same pan, add the bacon strips. Cook them until they become crispy and delicious.
-
Assemble your autumn salad by starting with a bed of curly lettuce.
-
Slice the cooked beetroots and add them to the salad.
-
Arrange the sautéed mushrooms on top of the beetroots.
-
Sprinkle the crispy bacon strips over the mushrooms.
-
Place the blanched green beans on the salad.
-
Finish by adding roasted nuts of your choice for extra crunch and flavor.
-
Season the salad with freshly ground pepper, salt, and a pinch of nutmeg.
-
Serve and enjoy your hearty and flavorful Autumn Salad!
This salad is a wonderful combination of the earthy flavors of beetroots and mushrooms, the salty crunch of bacon, and the freshness of green beans and curly lettuce.
