💡This recipe uses a secret time-saving trick … PREcooked beets! You can find them right in your grocery produce section.
Or, you can buy fresh beets and roast them yourself – just scrub them, place in a foil packet, and roast until tender at 400ºF/200ºC for 45-60 minutes.
Either way, this recipe is a winner and is great chilled or at room temperature!
Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients:
6 medium beets
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp honey
½ tsp sea salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions:
Cut the beets into ½-inch (1 cm) cubes and place in a large serving bowl along with the carrot and celery.
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, sea salt, and pepper. Pour over the beets and toss until the veggies are fully coated. Enjoy!
