Peel and rinse 200 g raw beetroot.
Stage 2 - 5 min.
Grate and put into a salad bowl.

Chop 25 g walnut kernels coarsly with a knife (or give them a brief whizz in a blender, if you prefer). Add to the bowl.

Prepare the vinaigrette with 3 tablespoons olive oil, ½ tablespoon vinegar, ½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar, ½ tablespoon Mustard, salt and pepper. The best way is to follow the french dressing (vinaigrette) recipe.

Remarks
As with all salads, the proportions are just for guidance, so do adapt them to your own taste.
If you prefer your beetroot cooked, that's fine; it just won't be as crunchy.

And to drink?
A fresh rosé wine, or a light red wine like a Beaujolais for example.
