Candy striped beets with halloumi and fresh mint

03/10/2018 by Julie Karla Leave a Comment

I made this candy striped beets salad the other day with halloumi cheese and fresh mint and besides from tasting amazing, I think it looks so pretty.

I got the candy striped beets from a weekly vegetable basket I pick up a few blocks away from where I live. The vegetables come straight from an organic and biodynamic farmer north of Copenhagen. And every Thursday I, and many other Copenhageners, are able to pick up super fresh and seasonal organic vegetables straight from the farm right in the middle of the city. That’s awesome!

Sweet candy striped beets with salty halloumi

I love the combination of the sweet beets and the salty halloumi. The addition of fresh mint just takes this salad to another level. Feel free to use feta cheese or some other salty cheese instead of halloumi. Everything works with this one! Also don’t forget to take a look at some of my other beet recipe as for example this baked beetroot salad with lemon ricotta.

Fall in Copenhagen

Fall has really arrived here in Copenhagen. And I just love fall. First of all, it’s my birthday in November. Second there is something magical about the light, when the sun’s out and not to forget all the magical colours! My husband took a picture of me and my son in the stroller the other day and the colours on the picture pretty much says F A L L!

Something else that says Fall is orange vegetables and in particularly one. Yes, you guessed it, pumpkin! I’m gonna cook so many things with pumpkin this season. I LOVE, love, love that sweet orange thing and just can’t get enough of it. So now you’re warned! There’s going to be pumpkin recipes all over the place. Yay, can’t wait. In the meanwhile have a look at this pumpkin risotto recipe!
