Honey Beet Salad

I know this is wintertime, but we are still enjoying produce that we harvested from our garden last summer:  carrots, onions, potatoes, beets.  A couple of weeks ago I used our "fresh" beets to make a couple of salads.  One was a familiar favorite, but the other was a new salad.  Today I will pass on the new recipe.  I will save the other recipe for another time.  For both recipes, I put the unpeeled fresh beets through my salad shooter.  Then I boiled the shredded beets in salted water.  (Save that beet water to make beet jelly.)  When they were done, I put them in the fridge to cool off.  (Terry)
