BEET SALAD WITH PICKLED MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS
This is my version of the Ukrainian salad known as shuki. If tarragon is hard to find, use any herb you really love. Similarly, sherry vinegar can be swapped out for any other flavorful vinegar or citrus juice, like raspberry vinegar, which goes wonderfully with earthy beets.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your salad is made quickly and efficiently.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your salad. Choose fresh, flavorful beets, mushrooms, and shallots.
- Don't overcook the beets: Beets should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooking them will make them mushy and bland.
- Caramelize the shallots slowly: Caramelizing the shallots will bring out their natural sweetness and add a delicious depth of flavor to the salad.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: Balsamic vinegar is the key to the dressing for this salad. Choose a vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years for the best flavor.
- Season to taste: Always taste your salad before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Conclusion:
This beet salad with pickled mushrooms and caramelized shallots is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
