Beet and Fried Cheese Salad
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Choose fresh and vibrant beets. It's best to roast the beets so they won't be watery. Finely chop the garlic instead of grating it; this will make the salad spicy without bitterness. Use a hard melting cheese for the salad. Soft cheeses like mozzarella or suluguni are not suitable, as they will simply melt and run when cooked. Serve at the table.
