Marinated beet salad (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Vegetables

01 - 2 lbs of cooked and peeled beets or raw beets (see tip for cooking instructions)

→ Seasonings

02 - 1/4 cup of white balsamic vinegar or raspberry vinegar
03 - 1 teaspoon of salt
04 - Freshly cracked black pepper

→ Toppings

05 - Fresh dill, tarragon, or arugula leaves
06 - A drizzle of olive oil or flavored oil

# Instructions:

01 - Cut the beets into thin wedges or shred them into julienne strips.
02 - Place the beet slices in a medium bowl, pour in the vinegar, sprinkle with salt, and season with pepper.
03 - Cover the bowl tightly, then let it sit in the fridge for at least 6 to 12 hours so the beets can soak up the vinegar.
04 - Take a quick taste and tweak the flavoring if you think it needs it.
05 - Right before serving, toss with fresh herbs or arugula, drizzle on some olive oil, and add a pinch of salt and pepper.

# Notes:

01 - Tip: To cook raw beets, place them in an oven-safe dish with some water, cover it tightly, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45 to 60 minutes depending on their size. Check so they don’t stick, and add more water if necessary. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin off easily.
