SHAVED ZUCCHINI AND BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Toss 1 thinly sliced zucchini and a pinch of salt in a colander; let sit 10 minutes, then pat dry. Thinly slice 2 each red and golden baby beets and 2 large radishes on a mandoline. Toss with the zucchini, 1/2 minced fresno chile (seeded for less heat), 1/4 cup chopped mint and 2 tablespoons each olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt.

CREAMY BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Boil beets with skin on about 1 hour or until easily pierced with a fork. If a beet is older or really big, it may take longer. The smaller, younger beets may cook in 45 minutes. Let cool in cold water (or in the fridge overnight if you want to make the beets ahead). You can make them 2-3 days ahead and refrigerate until ready to use! Anyway, once they are at room temp or cool enough to handle, peel off skin. Most of the time, it should come off easily when you rub the beet with your hands (use kitchen gloves to keep from staining your hands).
• Use a mandolin to julienne your beets or torture yourself and try to cut the matchsticks by hand. Just be prepared for really gnarly looking red finger nails if you don't have a mandolin. Wear kitchen gloves if you are fond of your manicure. Place your sliced beets in a large bowl and top with 1/4 cup finely diced red onion.
• Add in 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp vinegar, and 3-4 tbsp real mayo to taste. Give it a good stir. You're done!

CREAMY BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Scrub, top, and tail beets. Boil in salted water about 45 minutes, or until tender. Drain hot water from pot, and fill with cold water. Set aside until beets are cool enough to handle.
• Slice beets thinly, and transfer to a salad bowl. Add onion and cucumber.
• In separate bowl, combine yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, horseradish, dill, and salt and pepper. Pour over vegetables, and toss to combine. Refrigerate 2 hours, or overnight. Serve chilled.
