Raw Beet Salad

• 1 shallot, minced
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (or whichever vinegar you favor)
• 1 pound beets (larger are easier to grate)

• 1/4 teaspoon fresh black pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons strong mustard
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1. Place shallot in the bowl you'll prepare the dressing in.
2. Add vinegar to shallots and let stand for at least 30 minutes.
3. Peel and trim the beets.

5. Add salt, pepper, mustard and olive oil to bowl with shallots and vinegar. Whisk until combined.
6. Add fresh herbs and mix once more. (OPTIONAL)
7. Pour over beets. Serve or refrigerate.
