This is a fairly typical Costa Rican recipe for beet salad using the holy trinity of Costa Rican cooking: Onions, cilantro, and sweet red pepper. Please don't use anything other than fresh beets, it just wont compare.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 medium fresh beets
1/2 sweet onion, finely diced
1/3 large sweet pepper, finely diced
1 bunch fresh cilantro (about a quarter cup when chopped)
3 -4 tablespoons mayonnaise
salt

Steps:

  • Boil the beets with their skins on so they do not lose their color.
  • When they are soft enough to easily pierce with a fork, let them cool in a tub of cold water until they are cold enough to peel. The skin will come off easily if you rub it gently with your fingers.
  • Dice the beets into small squares.
  • Add diced onion, cilantro, and sweet pepper.
  • Add mayonnaise and gently mix thoroughly.
  • Don't forget to add lots of salt if you'd like (I LOVE SALT).

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller beets tend to be sweeter and more tender than larger beets.
  • Roast the beets: Roasting the beets brings out their natural sweetness and intensifies their flavor. To roast beets, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Wrap the beets individually in foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast the beets for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Let the beets cool: Once the beets are roasted, let them cool slightly before handling them. This will prevent you from burning your hands.
  • Use a variety of greens: This salad is a great way to use up leftover greens. Arugula, spinach, kale, and chard are all good choices.
  • Add some crunch: To add some crunch to the salad, you can add chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons.
  • Make a tangy dressing: A tangy dressing will help to balance out the sweetness of the beets. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard is a good option.

Conclusion:

Beet salad is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and sweet flavor, beet salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
