Preparation

Step 1

1. Peel the beets with a vegetable peeler, and grate in a food processor fitted with the shredding blade.

2. Combine the orange juice, lemon juice and olive oil. Toss with the beets and herbs. Season to taste with salt. Line a salad bowl or platter with romaine lettuce leaves, top with the grated beets and serve.

The grated beets can be dressed and kept inthe refrigerator, covered well, for a couple of days. They become more tender but don't lose their texture.
