INGREDIENTS

• 8 ounces beets, cooked and drained
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
• 6 leaves mint

PROCEDURE

Grate the beets in a food processor or on a box grater. Drain away most of the excess water that comes off the beets.

In a large bowl, stir together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss the beets in the dressing, and move to a serving bowl. Top with the crumbled goat cheese, and sliced mint. Serve on the side of grilled fish or vegetables.
