Preparation

Step 1

Steam peeled and diced beets over rapidly boiling water until they become tender, about five to six minutes or so. If using multiple varieties, note that the red beets will stain the other varieties so you may wish to steam them separately.

Once tender, immediately plunge the steamed beets into a bowl of ice water, allowing them to chill until cold to the touch.

Drain beets, patting them dry with a cotton kitchen towel as needed.

Combine drained beets with chopped basil and minced garlic.

Dress with vinegar and olive oil. Serve cold.
