Beet salad

Very easy and even more tasty way to eat beets.

You will need:
few medium size beets
1-2 big onions
salt and pepper to taste
dried mushrooms (optional)

Boil beets in water, until soft, cool. Once cooled, peel them and grate them with a grater (medium sized, not mushy).
Cut onions and cook in a frying pan with some oil until golden brown. Add beets and cook some more, about good 15 minutes, 'till incorporated. You will see the onions and beets almost becoming as one....If using dried mushrooms, now you can add them. If you don't have dried mushrooms, the bullion cube of mushrooms will do. Will add the taste and salt at the same time.
Add fresh grated pepper and salt. If you use the bullion cube, be careful with salt. Always taste and try not to put too much. This dish has a nice distinguished taste. Good as a garnish or on a piece of bread.

Beet salad for the rest of us

I call this one 'for the rest of us', because I don't like beets. But there are two ways I will eat it. Considering how healthy the beets are, this is worth trying.

Beet salad with mayo and garlic

You will need:
2-3 bigger size beets
mayo
garlic
salt and pepper to taste

Boil beets in water. Once cooled, peel them and grate them medium size grater, that looks like little droplets ( do not make a mush).
Add mayo to taste, few cloves of garlic (minced) and pepper. I omit salt because there is salt in mayonnaise. You can add crushed walnuts, if you like.
