Ingredients

6 micro golden beetroots, washed
6 micro candied beetroots, washed
6 micro white beetroots, washed
6 micro magenta beetroots, washed
2 standard beetroots, washed
1 T honey
3 T olive oil

To make the dressing, combine the lemon juice, honey, olive oil, garlic, mustard and vinegar until creamy. Arrange the fresh salad leaves in the bases of eight teacups.
