In a rectangular glass dish combine the oil, vinegar, shallot, garlic, celery salt, and sugar. Mix well.
Add the beets and toss to combine in the marinade. Cover and marinate at least an hour before serving. Just before serving, toss the mixture with the arugola and basil. Add salt to taste and serve.
We LOVE this beet salad. We made it with a little chopped parsley (with the stems!) because we didn’t have arugula, and omitting the celery salt. But it is delicious!!!
