Beet Salad with Miso and Black Sesame

This vibrant beetroot salad with miso and black sesame is a sophisticated vegan dish that celebrates the naturally sweet and earthy notes of golden beetroot. By combining tender roasted wedges with thinly sliced raw beetroot, you create a beautiful contrast in textures that makes every bite interesting. The peppery watercress provides a fresh base, while the savoury miso and rice wine vinegar dressing adds a deep umami finish that balances the sweetness of the root vegetables.

Ideal as a light lunch or an elegant starter, this healthy salad is packed with nutrients and can be partially prepared in advance to save time. You can roast the beetroot up to two days ahead and keep them chilled, making this an excellent choice for stress-free entertaining. Serve it as a stand-alone dish or alongside grilled proteins for a complete, colourful meal.
