When food tells a story, every bite feels richer, warmer, and more meaningful.
This Beetroot Relish and Orange Salad is exactly that — a celebration of bold colors, vibrant flavors, and beautiful ingredients coming together in effortless harmony.

The Inspiration

We created this salad on a warm afternoon when we were craving for something refreshing that could hold its own next to a spicy pasta.
The idea sparked from the beauty of juicy, citrusy oranges paired with the earthy sweetness of beetroot. Not just any beetroot — the artisanal touch of Majic Jar’s Beetroot Relish, brings a lovely depth with its rich and sweet flavour profile.
Add to that the salty creaminess of feta, the peppery bite of rocket leaves, and a kiss of olive oil and balsamic vinegar — and you have a dish that's as pretty as it is delicious.

Recipe: Beetroot Relish and Orange Salad

Ingredients:

• 2 large oranges

• Salt, to taste

• Crushed black pepper, to taste

• 6–8 teaspoons Majic Jar Beetroot Relish

• 50g feta cheese, crumbled or grated

• A handful of fresh rocket leaves

• 1–2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oranges:
   Peel the oranges and slice them into thin rounds. Spread them out on a serving plate in a single layer.

2. Season:
   Sprinkle lightly with salt and freshly crushed black pepper.

3. Add the Majic:
   Place a small spoonful of Majic Jar Beetroot Relish on top of each orange slice.

4. Top with Feta:
   Crumble or grate some feta generously over the oranges and relish.

5. Add Rocket Leaves:
   Scatter a handful of rocket leaves over the salad for freshness and a hint of bitterness.

6. Dress:
   Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the entire plate.

7. Final Touch:
   Grate a little more feta on top to finish.

8. Chill:
   Refrigerate the salad for 15–20 minutes before serving. This step allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

9. Serve Cold:
   Enjoy as a refreshing starter or a vibrant side dish.

Pair It Perfectly

This salad sings when served with:

• A spicy pasta (like an arrabbiata or a chili-garlic spaghetti)

• A hearty mutton stew — where the salad cuts through the richness of the meat.

And for drinks?
Reach for a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc, or a refreshing rosé — they’ll complement the citrus and beetroot notes beautifully.

This Beetroot Relish and Orange Salad is a simple yet stunning way to showcase fresh, vibrant ingredients — and a little bit of majic from Majic Jar.
Whether you're hosting friends or simply treating yourself, this dish is bound to become a favourite on your table.
