The quantities follow this count.

1.5 lb beetroot
1 shallot, minced
1 tsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

How to cook it

Cook the beetroot until tender (boiled about 40 minutes or steamed), then peel and dice it once cool enough to handle.
Whisk the dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a bowl, then slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
Add the diced beetroot and the shallot to the dressing and toss gently to coat.
Let the salad sit for 10 minutes so the flavors meld.
Scatter the chives over the top before serving; a single-vegetable crudite of the same family as grated carrot and the tomato salad, not the whole composed plate of a Salade Composee.
