This simple but elegant salad contains sweet, tender vacuum pack beetroot beets, which is a truly convenient and versatile ingredient and great for use in a wide range of dishes, cilantro, and pistachios, plus protein-rich pan-seared prawns. The sweet but tangy taste of white balsamic and a rich, buttery macadamia oil make a perfect compliment to those naturally sweet root vegetables.

- Using a mandoline, slice the beetroot into a bowl. Add the white balsamic, a tablespoon of macadamia oil, and season with a little salt and pepper. Mix together.
- In a pan, heat the sunflower oil over high heat until hot. Add in prawns and cook until they have turned pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes.
- Arrange the thinly sliced beetroot onto two serving plates. Place the cilantro in the center and top with pan-seared prawns. Scatter the chopped pistachios over. Drizzle with a little bit more macadamia oil if desired.

This is a beautiful salad, I love the color of it. Looks healthy and delicious. Beautiful pictures.
This is beautiful and I love the combination of the white balsamic and macadamia nut oil. I haven't tried that combination before but it sounds just wonderful. Beets are so good for you, we should all eat them daily. Lovely photo!

Angie, prawns and beetroot. I love it.
Again beautiful cutting of the beetroot. This dish looks so elegant!
Awee...such a colourful platter, love those swirls of beet!
Love the flavours and colour in this dish. I'm really into prawns, so might given this a go - only thing I don't have is macadamia oil, will any nut oil do?
@Emma @ Fork and GoodSure, walnut oil will be a great substitute.
Angie, this salad is not just flavourful but pretty presentation too!
Beautifully plated! I bet they go well together. Need to remember get some beets at the market next time I hit the seafood stand.
Hope you have a wonderful week!
What a fantastic looking dish. Love everything you put in there, must get some nice prawns and try this out.

Fascinating combination of color and flavor - I could almost smell the beets!

I love to mix flavors. I need to get fresh prawns and I can try your recipe out.
What a vibrant, pretty dish! Looks like something I'd order at a good restaurant.
Awesome clicks and a very appealing salad!
This looks super incredible! Do you mean you bought cooked beets in a vaccuum packed package, or that you cooked them in a vaccuum pack, like sous-vide style?? It really looks amazing.
I recalled you making a lovely beetroot dish sometime ago too & I was amazed with the way you'd presented it. Another wonderful effort, Angie!
As much as I love Beets...I never have thought to pair them with shrimp. A totally genius concept! Angie, you never cease to amaze me with all your creative, colorful, healthy, and super delicious foods, breads, and desserts. I truly adore this yummy salad:)
Gorgeous salad! Where did you find vacuum packed cooked beets???
@koko
Koko, I got the vacuum packed beets from our supermarket.
@Mrs.P
I got them from one of our local stores. They are available in almost all the supermarkets here.
Stunning!
I just bought fresh beets yesterday...
Angie,your salad looks so Gourmet!nice colors,nice presentation,light flavors,delicious salad!
Beautiful beet salad Angie-looks like it could become a favorite! We can buy precooked beets in vacuum package at Trader Joes-they are so easy to use;)

Gorgeous presentation! I love that you always cook with different ingredients that some of don't see to often. This dish, especially with the prawns looks fantastic and I bet it tastes the same :)
What a unique salad! I'm not a big fan of beet root but this looks like they are sliced very thin and topping with a ton of flavors! Love the oils you used! This salad might make me love beet root!
Beautiful salad ! The vibrant colours give a very refreshing feel.
I love the precooked beets. I was amazed when I found them at the store and they were completely affordable and totally delicious. Terrific recipe. As always, you turn simple ingredients into amazing dishes.
