I used to really dislike the earthy taste of beets. I've learned to love them by making them sweet from broiling, juicing and marinating them. If you don't like beets, think again. Try them in a new way with new eyes for this new year.
1 large beet
2 tsp. Ume Vinegar or 1 tsp. Sea Salt
1-2 tbs. Red wine vinegar or favorite of choice
2 tbs. Olive or Avocado Oil

Wash and peel your beets. I like to do it in running water.
Then grate them on a fine setting. The finer the sweeter they will be. I use the sink for easy cleanup. Beets can be messy. Try wetting your hands first so the red doesn't stick to you like glue.

Pour in your oil, vinegar, and salt. Let set for 15+ minutes. The hardest part about this dish is the grating. If you have an electric grater, go for it, but they never seem to have the settings to make it fine enough.
Enjoy on top of salad or as a side dish of its own.
