Pugliese beet salad with fresh mint

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Beets; unpeeled
(weigh after removing roots and greens)
1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar; plus
1 teaspoon Red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Lemon juice
¼ cup Extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons Coarse salt
1 teaspoon Freshly-ground black pepper
¼ cup Shredded fresh mint

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook beets until fork tender, about 30 minutes for small beets. Remove from water and set aside until cool enough to handle. Slip off skins and cut beets into ¼-inch slices. Whisk vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, coarse salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add beets and toss thoroughly. Gently fold mint into beets. Adjust seasoning and serve at room temperature. This recipe yields 6 to 8 side dishes.
