Shaved Beet Salad with Mint and Feta

Shaved Beet Salad With Mint And Feta

• 1 bunch of beets (any color or type)
  
• A handful of mint leaves
• 1-2Tbsp Champagne vinegar
• 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
• Crumbled feta cheese
• Salt

1. Peel the beets and with a very sharp knife, carefully slice the beets as thinly as you can. You can also do this on a very sharp mandolin.
2. Place the raw beets in a bowl and toss with the vinegar and olive oil.
3. Crumble the feta cheese over the beets and then top with minced mint leaves.
4. Crack a little salt over the salad, serve, and enjoy.

Beets can be very challenging for some people.  I typically steam them and tossed them with a little butter and cinnamon. I found this recipe on cooklocal.com, and gave it a whirl. It was a very nice side dish, served with Kebabs and stuffed Zucchini.
Beets can be quite a mess to work with, wear rubber gloves when peeling if you don't want to be sporting pink hands for a few hours, but the vibrant color will liven up any table.
