 Making a Mexican red beet salad -- 10 minutes

Preparation is virtually non-existent because we are going to use pre-cooked red beets. You can of course cook your own red beets if you really want to. We wanted to save time and go with the pre-cooked beets instead.

Squeeze juice from the grapefruit and pour that into the big bowl along with the white wine vinegar. Open up the package of pre-cooked red beets, drain any excess liquid and cut into thin slices using your chef's knife and cutting board.

Alternatively, you can use a mandoline for this, but we find that to be quite a hassle cleaning.

Add red beet slices into the big bowl and give them a few minutes to soak into the grapefruit and white wine vinegar mixture. Finely chop up fresh mint leaves (to liking) and/or fresh basil.

Mix into the bowl along with the red beets and juice. Season with salt and pepper and optionally add 1 diced small onion.

Done! that was easy-peasy, right? this dish complements most mexican foods, because of its pungent sourness.

Usually, mexican foods are spicy, and this dish will cancel out some of that heat if needed. Enjoy!
