Ingredients
Method
Trim beet tops to 1 inch (2.5 cm); leave roots. In saucepan of boiling salted water, cover and cook beets until fork-tender, 25 to 30 minutes; drain and let cool. Peel and cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes; place in bowl and set aside.
Meanwhile, peel and cut carrots into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick coins. In separate saucepan of boiling salted water, cover and cook carrots until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and place in separate bowl; set aside.
In small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saut?arlic until softened, about 2 minutes.
Add vinegar, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper to skillet; cook for 2 minutes. Divide evenly between beets and carrots; toss to coat. Refrigerate until cold. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 3 days.)
Toss 1 tbsp (15 mL) each parsley with beets and carrots. Serve at room temperature.
