Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Beets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap medium beets in aluminum foil and roast for 30-45 minutes until tender, or boil in salted water for 30 minutes. Let cool before peeling.
  2. Caramelize the Shallots: Slice medium shallots thinly. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Sauté shallots for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and soft.
  3. Pickle the Mushrooms: Whisk together sherry vinegar, a pinch of salt, and fresh herbs in a bowl. Slice pickled mushrooms and marinate in the mixture for at least 1-2 hours.
  4. Assemble the Salad: Slice cooled beets into thin rounds and layer with pickled mushrooms and caramelized shallots on a platter. Sprinkle fresh herbs for color.
  5. Dress the Salad: Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper just before serving to enhance flavors.
