In anticipation of summer in colour

Beetroot always make me think of summer. Even though they're available (and we can grow them) most of the year round.

Last night - for the first time in ages - The Husband braaied chicken so I indulged with two salads. The taste of summer - I cannot wait!

The combination of beetroot and tzatziki is one of my current favourites. It'll be even nicer with a ring of cucumber (we'd run out and today's shopping day) and a sprinkling of fresh dill.

I don't like how beetroot makes everything pink, so my salads - unless they're all beetroot - are somewhat deconstructed. Either way, once it's on my plate, I have no choice.

What a welcome treat: braaied chicken and salad. The weather man tells us we're having a two-day early summer before being plunged back into the depths of winter and possible rain for the market. I do hope not!

Oh, and I love the red of the beetroot contrasting with the blue of Paul's bowl and then the white of the tzatziki.

I do eat with my eyes!

Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:

• re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
• and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.

I blog to the Hive blockchain using a number of decentralised appplications.

• From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.

• Join Hive using this link and then join us in the Silver Bloggers' community.
