    warm beetroot and bocconci salad - lunch/dinner

    I made this last night after getting the idea from a food show last week.

    Beetroot contains no fat and is a great source of fibre. It is very low in calories and is a nice sweet fragrant treat! It also is high in vitamin C, vitamin A and folate!

    Recipe #178334 on recipezaar.com

    A deliciously sweet and low calorie salad. Fresh and light. Serve with warm crusty bread with a spread of butter for a nice meal!
    3 medium beetroots, fresh
    1/3 cup lowfat mozzarella cheese, if available use 4 mozzarella balls, otherwise know as bocconci
    3 cups lettuce, shredded
    2 pinches salt
    1 pinch ground pepper
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

    3 servings Change size or US/metric
