“Many vegetables benefit from fire cooking, but none more so than butternut and beetroot,” explains Reuben Riffel. “This salad is great even without the roasted vegetables, but the sweet smokiness of these two cooked over the coals takes it to another level. Paired with a tangy yoghurt dressing, they’re the perfect combination for a substantial and satisfying salad,” he adds. Riffel is the creator of this recipe that can be found in his brand-new cookbook Braai.
