BEET, RED ONION, RED CABBAGE, CRÈME FRAÎCHE AND CHERVIL

Too often you are offered a fait accompli on a plate, a weave of ingredients in which your only involvement will be to make a mess of it, with the inevitable intervention of your knife and fork. Well, here is a salad that welcomes the messing-up process.

Servings

Ingredients

2 raw beetspeeled and finely grated
¼ raw red cabbage with its core cut outvery finely sliced
1in small red onionpeeled, cuthalf from top to bottom and finely sliced
6 healthy dollops of crème fraîche
2 healthy bunches of chervilpicked from the stems
Dressing
healthy splashes of extra-virgin olive oil
a little gesture of balsamic vinegar
a small handful of extra-fine capers
sea salt and black pepper

Instructions

Mix everything together for the dressing. Toss all your raw red vegetables in the dressing, then on six plates place a bushel of this red mixture. Next to this, nustle your blob of crème fraîche as if the two ingredients were good friends, not on top of each other as if they were lovers. Finally, rest a clump of the chervil next to the other ingredients in the friendly fashion.
A very striking salad ready for the eater to mess up.
