Marinated Beet Salad
Description
The salad starts by grating cooked beets coarsely and chopping onions and red bell peppers into small pieces. The marinade is prepared on the stove by simmering water, olive oil, vinegar, sugar, and salt until just boiling. Onions and peppers are added first to the hot marinade and simmered for 10 minutes, blending their sweetness with the marinade's acidity.
Next, the grated beets are stirred in and cooked for another 15 minutes, tenderizing them and absorbing the marinade's flavors. After allowing the mixture to cool completely, the salad is stored in airtight jars or containers in the refrigerator.
The resulting dish is a chilled, sweet-and-sour salad with tender beet texture complemented by the crunchy, softened onions and peppers. This salad can be served as a side dish or part of a cold salad selection.
