This salad is a tasty way of using up all of your beetroot – the beetroots can be roasted, the stems made into a quick pickle and the leaves used as salad. Adding the beetroot stem pickle to the salad and for the dressing adds delicious spice and crunch to this dish while the leaves have a buttery smooth consistency. The salad uses parts of the plant – the stems and roots – that are not usually cooked and they are really delicious.
