Beet and Onion Salad Recipe

Beet and Onion Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 medium beets, cooked and thinly sliced
• 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beets: If using raw beets, wash and trim them, then place in a pot of water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 30-40 minutes. Drain and let cool, then peel and slice thinly. Alternatively, you can use pre-cooked beets.
2. Prepare the Onion: Thinly slice the red onion and place in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes. This helps to reduce the sharpness. Drain and set aside.
3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the sliced beets, red onion, and chopped parsley. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
5. Marinate (Optional): For the best flavor, cover the salad and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
6. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy as a side dish or a light meal.
