Instructions: Steam beets until tender. Cool, peel, and cut into 1/4-inch slices. In a mixing bowl combine shallots, vinegar, lemon juice, orange zest, scallions, and mint. Whisk in olive oil, mixing until emulsified. Add beet slices and toss until coated. Add salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze lime juice over the beets and toss lightly. Serve warm.

Serves 4 to 6.

Notes: The earthy sweet beets are perfectly highlighted by a light fruity dressing. REF More Recipes from a Kitchen Garden, by Renee Shepherd and
