Enjoying beets

Ned's friends are aware that nearly from the first day of this poor blog, he has been extolling the virtues of beets. But he is also aware that beets are a lot of trouble to enjoy fresh, as they make an unholy mess. Eating cooked beets is fine as far as it goes, but many of the powerful goodies in beets are lost in cooking, alas. Therefore Ned would like to propose a solution, breaking the horns of the dilemma so to speak.
Ned's fresh grated beets

Grate 3-4 beets, scrubbed clean with one of those nonscratch sponge thingies. You can grate them in a food processor, or you can drive yourself mad trying to do it by hand. Ned likes golden, red and purple beets. And a medley is so beautiful, it-a make-a you cry.

Add olive oil to the grated beets and then dijon mustard. Mix to taste.
Put in the refrig for a few hours to let the flavors meld and the vinegar to soften the beets a bit.

Enjoy and get healthy.
