Healthy, because
The beetroot season is something everyone should definitely take advantage of! The red tubers are among the best that tuber vegetables have to offer: many B vitamins including folic acid, which is often critical in terms of supply, as well as a lot of haematopoietic iron and potassium (important for strengthening the cardiovascular functions).
Even smarter
For an additional plus of vitamin C, iron and folic acid: Sprinkle the salad generously with garden cress.
