Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 5 min.
Peel and rinse 135 g raw beetroot.
Stage 2 - 5 min.
Grate and put into a salad bowl.
Stage 4 - 5 min.
Chop 20 g walnut kernels coarsly with a knife (or give them a brief whizz in a blender, if you prefer). Add to the bowl.
Stage 5 - 5 min.
Cut "shavings" from 20 g Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano) using a vegetable peeler. Add to the bowl with the chopped parsley.
Stage 6 - 5 min.
Prepare the vinaigrette with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1⁄3 tablespoon vinegar, 1⁄3 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1⁄3 tablespoon Mustard, salt and pepper. The best way is to follow the french dressing (vinaigrette) recipe.
Stage 7 - 1 min.
Mix all the ingredients well and your salad is ready.
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.
Keeping: Only 2 or 3 hours after the vinaigrette has been added.
