Beetroot
Many people dislike beetroot, even though it's known to be healthy. For some reason, most of the supermarkets only sell it boiled and packed in plastic. I belong to the people who dislike that, too.
If you can get fresh beetroot, you can make a delicious salad. It might convince beetroot haters that they are wrong.
First, peel and grind a beetroot.
Chop a few stalks of parsley.
In a glass, mix equal amounts of spicy mustard (dijon type), balsamic vinegar and olive oil. For one medium sized beetroot, I use two tablespoons of mustard but the exact quantity depends on how strong your mustard is. Mix everything nicely, add salt and pepper as you like.
This self confident salad goes very well with roasted bread.
Recently, I took a large bowl of it to a garden party. I was worried that I would end up eating it all by myself. But even though the beetroot had turned a bit soft due to the salt, my bowl was the only one that was completely emptied that evening.
I recommend this dish, and I am grateful to the Frenchman who taught it to me a few years ago.

"of the supermarkets" sounds like you are going to refer to a specific group of supermarkets, like "of the supermarkets in my city". But without that specificity, it sounds better just "most supermarkets".
I belong to the people who dislike that, toobeetroot when prepared that way.
I don't think you need "too" as it is redundant. "belong to" does work here it just sometimes sounds off saying you "belong to the people" but there is nothing wrong with it. I might say "I belong to the camp that dislikes" or something. Personally I think "that" needs a little more clarification if it is referring to beetroots as a whole, or beetroots in this boiled and pre-packaged way.
If you can get fresh beetroot, you can make a delicious salad.
This sentence is good. I might consider adding "However," to the front to emphasize the difference between fresh beetroot and packaged/boiled beetroot that you have set up.
It might convince beetroot haters that they are wrong.
First, peel and grind a beetroot.
I know that beetroot can be ground into a powder, I just want to make sure that this is what you mean. If instead you are talking about strips/shavings this would be "grate".
Chop a few stalks of parsley.
In a glass, mix equal amounts of spicy mustard (dijon type), balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
For one medium sized beetroot, I use two tablespoons of mustard, but the exact quantity depends on how strong your mustard is.
Rules for hyphens can be pretty muddy in English, but I think it would be "medium-sized" here.
Mix everything nicely, add salt and pepper as you like.
Unlike the other set of corrections, I think nicely does work in this sentence. Personally, I would use "well" but the way you have written it is fine.
This self -confident salad goes very well with roasted bread.
Again, hyphenation rules are weird in English, but I think it is usually "self-confident" rather than "self confident". I think using "self-confident" in this way is fine, as long as you are doing it intentionally, aware that it is usually applied to animate objects.

I think this is more clear/ sounds better. If you mean they only taught you about the dish and not how to make it I might use "told me about it" instead of "taught it to me".
Feedback
Great writing! The majority of my corrections are very minor, and others are subjective (and I made note of this when this was the case). In regards to the comments on hyphens, none of them are crucial to understanding what you wrote, I just wanted to provide what is technically correct to the best of my knowledge. Please ask if you have any questions about what I wrote.

I think they were referring to not liking "pre-cooked beetroot in plastic", just looking at the recipe that follows.

First, peel and grind a beetroot.
I don't think one can "grind" beetroot; I suspect this means to read "grate" the beetroot.
