Scale
Vegetables:
- 3 medium beets, peeled and grated
- 1 large carrot, grated
- ½ red onion, finely diced
Herbs and Extras:

- ⅓ cup black olives, pitted and sliced
Dressing Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon mustard

Instructions
- Prepare the pickling liquid by whisking vinegar, mustard, and olive oil in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a vibrant marinade for the thinly sliced onions.
- Allow the onions to luxuriate in the tangy mixture for 5-10 minutes, enabling them to absorb the zesty flavors and soften slightly.

- Incorporate the grated vegetables into the marinated onions, introducing a colorful medley of earthy and sweet notes.
- Fold in briny olives and freshly chopped parsley, distributing them evenly to create a balanced flavor profile.
- Season the mixture with a sprinkle of salt, gently tossing to ensure each ingredient is thoroughly coated with the aromatic dressing.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp, vibrant textures, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3-4 days, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.

- Grate beets and carrots to create a vibrant, colorful, and textured slaw.
- Use fresh parsley for a bright, herbal note that complements the earthy root vegetables.
