Remarks
As with all salads, the proportions are just for guidance, so do adapt them to your own taste.
If you prefer your beetroot cooked, that's fine; it just won't be as crunchy.

Pizza dough is a lind of bread dough with olive oil, which make it softer. This is the same dough that I use for pizzas and flammenkuches, this is no doubt incorrect, but it's very good nevertheless.
