Peel and rinse 800 g raw beetroot.
Stage 2 - 5 min.
Grate and put into a salad bowl.

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.
