Prepare the Cooked Beets:If you haven't already, cook the beets until tender. You can roast, boil, or steam them. Once cooked, peel and dice them into bite-sized pieces. Or grate on a coarse grater.
Peel and finely mince the clove of garlic. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped walnuts until fragrant. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the diced/grated cooked beets, minced garlic, and toasted walnuts. Gently fold in the vegan mayo, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated. Season the salad with salt and pepper to your liking. Adjust according to your preferences.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and enhance. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped walnuts or a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.
Serve the beetroot and walnut salad as a refreshing side dish or a light lunch. Revel in the delightful combination of creamy, crunchy, and earthy flavors!
