Recipe: Crunchy beetroot and mint salad with labne


Today I received an email fromGourmet Traveller website. It's a wonderful free resource that you can subscribe to. I love drooling over the food porn and learning how to cook foods that have just come into season.  Many of the recipes are gluten free and absolutely delicious!

From gourmettraveller.com.au
Australian Gourmet Traveller mint recipe feature including recipes for raspberry and mint mojito, goat's curd and mint tartlets, crunchy beetroot and mint salad with labne and many more.
I just bought some baby beets and was wondering how to cook them when I saw this series of mint recipes and found the perfect salad incorporating beetroot, mint and labne (yoghurt). Yumm!
