Marinated Beet Salad

Description
A delicious salad for any occasion. If you are lucky enough to live where you can get fresh letuce in december this would be fantastic on a Christmas table. Don't be squeemish about onions and Raisins, they go really well together. I have seen simmilar receipts in Polish and Finnish cook books.
