Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

    Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, and beetroot juice in a large bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the beets, radishes, and radicchio and toss well. Set aside.
  2. Heat the remaining 5 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onion, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 4 minutes; add the beets and toss.
