We planted beets for the first time this year and the first harvests are now coming in. I have way more beets than I know what to do with. I make fresh beet chips sometimes but that won’t use even close to all of them and isn’t really suitable to serve with a meal. Who has good beet recipes?
Peel, then use a grater, food processor, or mandolin to shred raw beets into thin little sticks. Drain the juice.
If you want some color, do equal number of peeled raw carrots.
Toss in a bowl with:
Freshly squeezed lemon juice. Lots of it. Don’t worry, the sugar in beets and carrots balances the lemon.
Olive oil.
Finely chopped parsley.
Couple of big dabs of Dijon mustard.
Salt and pepper.
Toss till mixed.
Cover and put in fridge till chilled.
Makes an excellent summer salad. Lasts a long time.
