Grilled Salade Nicoise

Tonight for supper we enjoyed the most beautiful salad I have ever seen, the lovely Salade Nicoise.

Borscht...nothing rhymes with Borscht.

Borscht is a Ukranian soup made of beets, cabbage, tomatoes, honey and vinegar. I know what you are all thinking that sounds AMAZING. I started off by peeling and grating 7 beets. When I was done, a good portion of my kitchen and myself were stained a lovely shade of purplish red. Soon the aroma was wafting through my house. The soup is probably the least appealing looking concoction one could come up with, but I must say it did not taste as bad as it looked. I wouldn't go as far as to say I would eat an entire bowl or that I will be making it any time in the future, but it was interesting to try. Carrie on the other hand liked it very much...as long as she didn't look at it.
