A very easy to make beetroot salad that’s very tasteful and delicate thanks to the French fresh sheep cheese called breuil et l’association de cumin qui va très bien avec la betterave ! Le tout est légèrement parfumé avec du vinaigre de Xérès et crée une harmonie en bouche qui va très bien avec des viandes ou des poissons !

What’s the story behind this recipe?
The French fresh sheep cheese called breuil or greuil greuilis a cheese made at the Pays-Basque or the Béarn in France! It’s quite fine and very light in fat! It can be eaten with sweets or in savory food like in this recipe!
I added as an alternative in this recipe the use of other Greek fresh cheese such as myzithra cheese and anthotyros (which literally means the flower of the cheese) that I used to find in Paris. I added them because I know their taste as well as their texture and they go very well with the rest of the ingredients. Try them and you will see :-) and please tell me all about it!
Otherwise, I also thought of the Italian cheese ricotta ricotta cheese as an alternative even though I do not know it very well but then you can try it and tell me all about it as well!
Nevertheless, if you ever find the French cheese breuil just give it a try! It’s so delicate that deserves a place in our everyday food even in France! It’s up to you now :-)
