Recipe for beets?
I bought some beets and I don't know what to do with them. I need a recipe nothing too complicated and with ingredients I have. Preferably a salad.
Answers: You can either roast or boil the beets until soft. Let beets cool and remove the outer skin. Slice the beets thinly - put into bowl. Slice some sweet onions thinly rinse with water - add to the beets. Mix some vinegar, salt and sugar together until combined - the ratio of vinegar to sugar would be to your personal taste. Pour sugar/vinegar mixture over beets and onions - let stand to let beets and onions absorb the liquid. Serve cold or at room temperature. Roasted Baby Beet Salad
