How to Make Warm Or Cold Beet Salad

  1. Wash and trim 1 pound of beets. Place beets in a medium saucepan and cover with about 2 inches of boiling water.
  2. Bring water back to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the center.
  3. Drain the beets and immediately place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cool enough to handle, peel and grate the beets using a box grater.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the grated beets with 1/2 medium red onion (finely chopped), 1 medium apple (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji, peeled, cored, and grated), and 1/4 cup of finely grated dill pickle.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and salt to taste. Pour dressing over the beet mixture and toss gently to combine.
  6. Serve immediately for a warm salad, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for a refreshing cold salad.
