Ingredients

2 red beets, unpeeled
60 ml (¼ cup) chopped arugula
15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh chives
10 ml (2 tsp) chopped fresh dill
250 ml (1 cup) seedless red grapes, halved
Lemon juice, to taste
Olive oil, to taste
60 ml (¼ cup) red walnuts (or not), toasted and crushed
Salt and pepper

Preparation

Place the beets in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer gently for about 1 hour or until the beets are tender. Drain and place in cold water until completely cooled. Peel and thinly slice with a mandolin. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine the arugula, chives and dill. Set aside.
Line 4 plates with the sliced beets. Garnish with the grapes. Drizzle with the lemon juice and olive oil. Top with the herb mixture and the nuts. Season with salt and pepper.

Note

Red walnuts are only available in some grocery stores. These walnuts with a reddish skin are slightly sweeter, but are not so different from regular walnuts, thus interchangeable.
