French Beet Salad
French Beet Salad
This spin on a classic French salad is what turned me into a lover of beets when I was a kid (and a picky eater!). Earthy, sweet, and tangy it is the perfect balance of flavors.

Instructions
  1. If using pre-cooked beets, dice them and place them in a medium serving bowl.
  2. If cooking the beets: scrub them, cut off the greens, leaving about 1 inch of stems, and steam them in a saucepan in about 2 inches of gently boiling water, covered, for 45 minutes, until they are fork tender. Drain the beets, rinse them in cold water, and peel the skins, using your fingers or a vegetable peeler, and then dice them.
  3. Combine the mustard and vinegar and pour it over the beets, tossing thoroughly. Refrigerate the salad for at least 20 minutes.
Recipe Notes

Note: you can cook and peel the beets or make the whole salad up to 2 days in advance.
