What to cook with beets, except borscht and "Shuba": a variant of an easy snack

The budget beets, we always use for borscht or "Shuba" can be a great base for a gourmet appetizer. For example, caprese salad. The traditional version uses tomatoes. But if you replace them - you get a new wonderful taste.

The idea of making caprese from beets is published on the page of food blogger Miroslava Pekariuk(myroslava_pekariuk) on Instagram. The vegetable goes perfectly with the cheese mixture.

Ingredients:

• beets - 1 pc
• sour cream cheese - 100 g
• Philadelphia - 100 g
• green onion
• mixed salad
• pumpkin seeds (fried)

3. Place the mixed salad on a plate and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
