Serve the salad as a side dish with main courses; it takes about half an hour to prepare.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Peel the beets and boil them in salted water until tender. Let cool, then dice and place in a salad bowl.
  2. Peel and chop the onions, then add them to the beets.
  3. Drizzle the salad with olive oil and vinegar, and season with a pinch of salt as needed.
  4. If desired, finish with a dressing of your choice. Let the salad sit for about 1 hour before serving.

Tip: Add a tablespoon of vinegar to the water when boiling the beets to help preserve their deep color. After letting the salad sit for an hour, toss it again, as the dressing will have settled at the bottom of the bowl.
