Marinated Beets

By Sarah-Lyn

Ingredients

• 6 medium beets
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• freshly-ground black pepper and sea salt to taste
• some fresh herbs for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Place the beets in a medium pot, add enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook on medium heat for 45 - 60 minutes, or until the skins can be rubbed off with your fingers. (To test one, fish it out of the pot with a pair of tongs and run it under cold water until it's cool enough to handle.) When the beets are ready, give them a few minutes to cool, then peel the beets using your fingers and cut them into bite-size pieces.

Toss beets with the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice. Top with pepper, salt, and herbs if desired. Serve warm or chilled.
