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

Prepare the vinaigrette with 12 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons 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.
Keeping: Only 2 or 3 hours after the vinaigrette has been added.
