Beetroot, fennel & apple salad

January 25, 2017 By travellingoven 4 Comments

How are you dear people? Any winter blues out there or are you enjoying those cozy winter evenings under the blanket on your sofa? Me a bit of both I must admit, even if the coziness does win over the blues! 😀 I’m a huge fan of being all nice and cozy and creating those special moments out of something ordinary, like having a cup of hot tea while snuggled under the blanket or lighting candles and having fresh flowers at home to bring some colours and warm light to those dark winter days.

Lately there is a lot of talk and articles written about Hygge, a Danish word that describes just that, taking genuine pleasure in making ordinary, every day moments more meaningful, beautiful or special.I read somewhere that hygge is “art of creating intimacy” and I can relate to that as it’s in my nature to do those little rituals daily to help me deal with difficulties and seek comfort in the little things that are, at the end of the day, actually the big things. If your life is too stressful and you feel like the time is running away from you and the problems accumulate, remember to breathe and just BE, take a moment to slow down and enjoy some little rituals that feel good to your soul…

I feel like it’s been a while since we had a savoury blog post here on this little corner of internet! After all the cookies, cakes, chocolate and delicious smoothie bowls I think this beautiful colourful salad is just what we need, am I right?! 🙂 This is a rich salad full of wonderful flavours and it can be great as light lunch but also a great side dish with some kind of meat as main. The earthiness of roasted beetroot, freshness of raw fennel, sweetness of apples and crunchiness of walnuts work so well together!

I hope you’ll give it a try, and please let me know if you do! Whether is for this one or any other recipe from my blog, I always love getting your messages here and on my Facebook page and Instagram, they just warm my heart!

By the way, I know I’m not posting as much here on the blog as I used to but my work flow has changed quite a lot and now I’m focusing more on the quality rather than quantity. I am working very hard and I’m constantly active on my social media but don’t feel that pressure like at the beginning of my blogging days that I have to post on the blog all the time.  It’s also interesting to see how my style is changing and how I’m slowly finding my visual voice and I’m enjoying the process and I’m curious to see where it will take me. To be honest I so want to delete some of the photos from the beginning but that would be wrong as it’s all part of the process of growing as photographer and all those delicious recipes are there to be used and enjoyed! 🙂
