Grated Beet Salad from Provence
This recipe is from a wonderful cookbook author, Patricia Wells. The book is entitled Patricia Wells at Home in Provence. Of all the recipes in this book, this is the one which I make most often.
This is a simple dish to make and it is extremely healthy., particularly for your digestive system. It is possibly the single best dish you can make for the health of your Liver and Gall Bladder and it tastes delicious. I have made it for many parties and it is always a big hit. This is a great recipe to make on a weekly basis.
Vinaigrette:
3 plump, fresh garlic cloves, peeled and minced.
1 tablespoon of imported Dijon mustard.
1 tablespoon organic red wine vinegar.
Fine sea salt to taste.
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.
Freshly ground black pepper to taste.
1 pound fresh raw beets, grated.
1 Tbl. of mixed fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme.
Whisk together the Garlic, Mustard, Vinegar, Salt, Olive Oil and Pepper. Grate the beets on a vegetable grater or with a food processor using the grating blade.
Put the beets in a bowl, pour the vinaigrette on top, add the herbs, toss and serve. Voila, it's done, delicious and healthy.
P.S. the only caution with this dish is that if you eat too much of it, you may end up with loose bowels. Of course that also means it's great for patients who tend toward constipation. Also, this amount of garlic is fairly strong, you may want to go with less unless you love garlic.
