Denmark beetroot salad is fresh and called Sukkerroer Salat is a perfect side dish to the National dish called stegt-flaesk!
I wanted to make something in honor of the New Nordic Cuisine and this fit the bill perfectly. I had never eaten raw beetroot before and I loved it!
It is a bit messy to make as beetroot stains easily but other than that, it is quick, easy and delicious! This would make a lovely lunch dish on it's own!
