This is a simple but elegant dish of beets tossed with a tangy garlic vinaigrette dressing.  Feel free to use more than the two cloves of garlic--I do!

Garlicky Beet Delight

beets

olive oil

red wine vinegar

garlic, crushed

salt

Wash the beets and boil until tender, about 45 minutes (or 20 minutes in a pressure cooker). Remove the skins by running cold water over the boiled beets, and then slipping of their skins. Slice the beets and toss with the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and salt.


Have made this time and again. We all love it. I add more garlic as we are garlic lovers. Was always using fresh beets. For the heck of it I used drained canned sliced beets and it was excellent. Never would have believed it.

These even go over well with non-beet people. Savory and sweet at the same time. Makes good use of a somewhat neglected veggie.

I made this for a summer family picnic. It was a hit even with the kids! It was nice to have a new idea! We used canned beets it kept the prep time down.

My daughter loves this. I pressure cooked the beets for 12-20 minutes depending on size.

I love beets in salads but had never used them as a side dish as my husband hates them. I tried this recipe and it's pretty good. Even my 4 year old (who is a veggie lover like her mom) ate it up and she's not big on garlic. Of course hubby and other two kids wouldn't even try it. Their loss. Will be using again but prefer the beets on my salad.

I found this combination wonderfully delicious. It was just right. If you eat beets... this is good and simple.

Let me first say that I am not a big fan of beets. BUT...this actually made them o.k. and my husband really loved them. I took your advice to add more garlic selfishly I thought it would overpower the beet flavor and it created a nice taste combination. Thanks for a beet recipe that I can live with and my husband just adores.

This recipe was delicious and although it took my beets about 40 minutes to cook (because they were large)it was still very quick and easy to prepare.
