Ingredients
- 2 pounds beets
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons white onion grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- If beets have tops, slice off the tops as closely to the beet as possible. Wash beets thoroughly. There is no need to dry the beets.
- Wrap each beet in foil tightly. Place foil-wrapped beets on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 50 minutes. Beets should be tender to the touch.
- When the beets are cool enough to handle, hold them with a paper towel and push off the skins.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine sour cream, white onion, salt, sugar, and balsamic vinegar.
- Dice beets and stir them into the sour cream dressing.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container until serving.
