For enhanced flavor, try roasting the beets whole until tender before peeling and shredding. Roasting brings out even more sweetness. A splash of orange juice or a pinch of brown sugar can complement the balsamic vinegar beautifully. Serve these beets warm as a side dish, or chilled atop a bed of mixed greens with crumbled goat cheese for a vibrant salad.
