Beetroot salad = beetroot poo.

This salad is a guaranteed winner. The candied walnuts are a standout every time. Blanch the walnuts in boiling water. Pat them dry. shake them about in icing sugar. Throw them into a put of extremely hot oil. Take them out when they go golden. At this point you're supposed to blot out the oil with paper towel but this generally causes fluff balls to stick to your nuts. Kinky sounding but not aesthetically pleasing. I generally get a crap tea towel and rub them about. Then, you sprinkle some cayenne pepper over them and boom, you're done. Very tay-stee. Goats curd is also a fabulous invention. It's like goats cheese but is much smoother a softer and you have to dollop it on. I can only find it at Prahran Market in the shop opposite the Olive/Chilli baguette baker. The contrast between the salty cheese and the sweet roast beetroot and pomegranate is to die for. Note the Scotch Fillet psyching itself up in the background. Mr Teriyaki beef is next on the menu.
