- 1 Large Shallot

The first step is easiest with a regular vegetable peeler, the second with the metal blade of the food processor, pulsing the machine on and off until the beets are finely cut.
- Peel the beets and the shallot.
- Combine them in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, and pulse carefully until the beets are shredded; do not purée. (Or grate the beets by hand and mince the shallots; combine.) Scrape into a bowl.
- Toss in the herbs.
- Toss with the mustard, oil, vinegar. salt and pepper, Serve and enjoy!
