Ingredients
  • 2 small beets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces red rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 7 red radishes, thinly sliced
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
1
Place the beets in a saucepan, making sure they are fully submerged in water.
2
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then cover the saucepan and lower the heat to a simmer.
3
Allow the beets to cook for 20 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
4
Drain the water from the saucepan, then let the beets cool to room temperature.
5
Peel and dice the cooled beets.
6
In a separate saucepan, combine olive oil, red rice, water, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
7
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
8
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan.
9
Simmer gently for an extended period, or until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed.
10
Remove the saucepan from the heat source, allowing it to cool down to room temperature.
11
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced beets, kidney beans, bell pepper, onion, radishes, and chives.
12
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
13
In a separate bowl, whisk together horseradish, mustard, and sugar until the ingredients are well incorporated.
14
Add red wine vinegar and oil to the bowl, whisking until smooth.
15
Using a fork, gently fluff the cooked rice.
16
Stir the rice into the vegetable mixture, then combine it with the dressing until well coated.
17
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for approximately 1 hour.
18
Spoon the chilled salad into a large, shallow serving dish.
19
Garnish with fresh chives to complete the presentation.
