When you have a classic Aussie BBQ on your calendar, the salad to bring is this Roast Beetroot, Walnut and Goats Cheese Salad. It really highlights the stunning earthy flavours of the beetroot, far from the vinegary taste you might be used to of beetroot from the tin.
If you’re travelling with this one, toss the leaves in with the beetroot first, and add everything else later.
