Vegetable salad with mushrooms - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use canned beets and carrots instead of boiling fresh ones?

Yes, canned beets and carrots can save time. Just drain and rinse them well to remove excess sodium before using.

How long can I store this salad in the fridge?

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The texture may soften, so add fresh cucumber or peas before serving if needed.

Is there a vegan alternative to mayonnaise for the 'cake' presentation?

Try vegan mayo or a thick cashew cream. For a lighter option, mashed avocado works but may alter the flavor slightly.

Can I make this salad ahead of time for a party?

Yes, prep ingredients separately and assemble 1-2 hours before serving to maintain freshness and texture.

What can I use instead of mushrooms for a different flavor?

Sautéed zucchini or bell peppers add a nice crunch. For protein, try chickpeas or diced tofu.

How can I make this salad lower in carbs?

Reduce carrots and beets, and add more cucumber, leafy greens, or cauliflower rice for bulk.

Can I freeze this salad for later use?

Freezing is not recommended, as the vegetables will become mushy when thawed. Fresh preparation is best.

What other dressings work well besides vegetable oil?

A light vinaigrette, lemon-tahini, or yogurt-based dressing pairs nicely. Adjust seasoning to taste.

How can I adjust portions for a larger group?

Double or triple the ingredients, but keep dressing and salt separate until serving to prevent sogginess.

Any tips for making the beet and carrot roses look neat?

Use a mandoline for even slices, roll tightly, and secure with toothpicks. Chill before arranging to hold shape.
