Ingredients

200g jar Essential Sliced Beetroot, drained
1 crisp apple (such as Pink Lady), peeled
50g crème fraîche
50g mayonnaise, plus extra to taste
Squeeze of lemon juice
2 drop/s balsamic vinegar
Pinch sugar (optional)
¼ x 20g pack chives, finely chopped

Method

Cut the beetroot and apple into bitesized pieces, then mix together in a bowl. Stir in the crème fraîche, mayonnaise, lemon juice and balsamic vinegar until combined. It should have a creamy consistency and a medium pink colour. Season, adding a little sugar if the beetroot is too tart and more mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier salad.
Cover and chill for a few hours (or overnight). It will darken in colour over time, but add more crème fraîche or mayonnaise, if liked. Scatter over the chopped chives to serve.
