Ingredients
- 1 lb beets washed
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ tablespoon coconut sugar or organic cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
- 2 tablespoon chopped parsley optional
Instructions
Cook the beets
- Place a steamer basket over a pot filled with 1-2 cups of water, cover it with a lid, and steam on medium heat for 15-20 minutes. They should be tender when poked with a knife. If they're not - steam them 5-10 minutes longer. After the beets are tender, set them aside to cool.
Saute the onion
- While you steam the beats, heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan, and over medium heat. Add sliced onion and cook for 7-10 minutes until it's translucent and starts to brown.
Grate the beets
- After your beets have cooled off, peel them and grate on large holes of the box grater.
Combine the ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl combine grated beets, sautéed onion, garlic pushed through a garlic press, rice vinegar, coriander, sugar, and salt. Mix everything well and adjust the salt. Sprinkle the beet salad with the sesame seeds and parsley if you want and enjoy!
Notes
- Beets. You can also roast the beets. Simple preheat the oven to 400 F. Place beets on a parchment-lined baking sheet, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and roast for about an hour or until the beets are tender when poked with a knife.
- This Asian beet salad will be especially delicious if you allow at least 30 minutes for it to marinate.
- This time will be enough for the flavors to meld and marry together and you'll have the yummiest beet salad ever. You can leave the salad to marinate on a counter or put it in a fridge.
- Sugar. Make sure to use organic cane sugar. Regular cane sugar is processed with bone char which doesn't make the sugar vegan
- Storing. Cooked beets last for 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator. This means you can cook them ahead of time and then assemble the salad on the day you plan to consume it.
- You can also prepare the entire salad 2-3 days in advance. In fact, the longer it sits, the more delicious it will be.
- Since this easy beetroot salad is served cold, there's no need to reheat it.
