Sour cream
1 1/2 tbsp Sherry wine vinegar
100ml Red wine vinegar
2 tbsp Walnut oil

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Beetroots:

    • Trim the stalks, avoiding cutting the roots to prevent bleeding.
    • Place beetroots in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.

    • Preheat roasting tray with oil, then fry vegetables until colored.
    • Season with salt and pepper.
    • Roast in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
  4. Prepare Dressing:

    • Whisk together mustard, sour cream, and vinegars.
    • Gradually add oil while whisking to emulsify.
    • Adjust thickness with water if needed.
    • Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Assemble Salad:

    • Dice half of the beetroots and mix with dressing for a pink ripple effect.
    • Arrange carrots and parsnips on plates, sprinkle with remaining beetroots.
    • Toss walnuts with salad leaves, drizzle with walnut oil, if desired.
    • Season with salt and pepper, then spoon dressing over and around the salad.
