Beet Salad

Beet Salad
(from Moosewood Restaurant “Simple Suppers” ;)

This salad is wonderful with regular beets but absolutely beautiful with the pinkish “bullseye” beets that came in this week’s box.

3 to 4 raw beets
2 T red wine vinegar
1 T olive oil
2 t. Dijon mustard
1/4 t. salt
2 scallions, minced
2 T minced fresh parsley

Peel the beets and cut them in half. Place the beets in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times until they are reduced to little chunks, or shred them with the food processor or by hand using the largest holes of a grater. (You’ll need 2 1/2 cups to 3 cups.)

In a serving bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, mustard, and salt. Add the beets, scallions, and parsley and toss well. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
