-1/4 cup minced shallots
-1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
-1/2 cup sunflower oil
-1 tsp salt
-1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
-1 TBS chopped mint leaves
-1 TBS chives
-2 TBS extra virgin olive oil and 1 TBS lemon juice for roasting corn and asparagus

Steps:
1) Roast beets, corn and asparagus

-Remove tin foil and allow to cool.
-Combine corn and asparagus and EVOO and lemon juice on roasting pan.
