Stage 1 - 10 min.

Spread 3.5 oz cashew nuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

After this time, take out of the oven and leave to cool, then chop coarsly.

Set aside.

Peel and grate 12.3 oz raw beetroot and put into a bowl.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Rinse and finely chop 1 spring onion (scallion), then add to the bowl.

Stage 5 - 7 min.

Cut 7.0 oz bread into small cubes and fry with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a frying pan.

Stage 6 - 1 min.

Tip into the bowl, add the cashew nuts and 5 tablespoons French dressing (vinaigrette), then mix well.

Stage 7

Your salad is ready and "in the pink".

Remarks

If you are making this in a hurry, just add the cashew nuts raw to the salad, though it will lack the crunch of the toasted nuts.

Keeping

1 or 2 hours in the fridge. Still good after, though it will start to go soft.

How to prevent butter burning during cooking

Butter, which is excellent for fixing flavours in a recipe, burns if the temperature is too high. It darkens and produces unpleasant small black specks (by the way, note that the famous recipe "raie au beurre noir", ray in black butter, is a kind of sacrilege!).
