Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

300g pack cooked beetroot (not in vinegar)
50g dried cranberries
250g pouch cooked grains (we used Bulgur wheat, green lentils & barley from Tesco)
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
25g cooked crispy bacon (from the deli aisle)
handful of rocket

Steps:

  • Drain the beetroot and chop into chunky pieces. Put in a large bowl, add the dried cranberries, then empty in the pouch of cooked grains, squeezing the pouch well first to break up the grains.
  • Drizzle over the balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Crumble over the cooked crispy bacon and scatter with rocket, then toss well, transfer to plates and serve.
