She loved fresh beets straight from her garden and when the season ended and she&#8217;d can whatever she had left. At that time, I couldn&#8217;t bring myself to share her excitement about these ruby-red root vegetables. Nowadays, I can&#8217;t believe I didn&#8217;t appreciate these vibrant summer vegetables. They are packed with a sweet and earthy flavor and are perfect for fresh salads or even as a standalone side dish.

The flavor profile is tangy, subtly sweet and earthy is a perfect complement to grilled meat and roasted vegetables. It&#8217;s also a delicious option as a first course or cheese pairing. However you choose to serve it you can be confident that this chilled beet salad will be a fan favorite at the next bark yard BBQ, block party or family dinner.<\/p>\n<h2>Chilled Beet Salad Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2055295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Chilled-Beet-Salad_TOHD24_50348_DianaChistruga_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Ingredients for Chilled Beet Salad\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Diana Chistruga for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"recipe-ingredients__list recipe-ingredients__collection splitColumns\">\n<li><strong>Beets: <\/strong>Fresh beets from the garden or farmers market are the best choice as they are pulled at peak ripeness and are locally sourced.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion:\u00a0<\/strong>This recipe uses one small red onion to add some heat and peppery flavor. If you&#8217;re interested in learning more about different types of onions and how they&#8217;re used our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">test kitchen has created a simple guide<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Balsamic vinegar: <\/strong>Made from crushed grapes and aged in wood barrels, balsamic vinegar has a concentrated, mildly sweet and acidic profile. The balsamic will add tang to this salad and balance out the sweet and earthy flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil: <\/strong>Canola oil is used in this recipe because the salad is served chilled, straight from the refrigerator. Many oils, like extra virgin olive oil, will become a solid at colder temperatures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Basil: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/fresh-basil\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/fresh-basil\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Fresh basil<\/a> brings an herbal, spiced flavor to the cold beet salad. Fresh is much more fragrant and aromatic than its dried form, making it worth the extra effort to find it at the market.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:\u00a0<\/strong>One clove of finely minced or crushed garlic for additional spiciness and pungent flavor gives contrast to the sweetness of the beets and balsamic vinegar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the beets<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2055296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Chilled-Beet-Salad_TOHD24_50348_DianaChistruga_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Beets boiling in a saucepan\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Diana Chistruga for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Scrub the beets under running water to remove any dirt left on the vegetables.

Beets come in many varieties and colors, but the deep, dark reds are the most common. We recommend wearing food-safe nitrile or latex gloves and peeling the beets over the sink or bowl when working with these to avoid potential stains on the kitchen surfaces.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I make this ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Absolutely! This recipe for cold beet salad works best when chilled overnight and is perfect for making it a day or two ahead of when you need it.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I add other vegetables to this recipe?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Of course. This beet salad is so versatile the sky&#8217;s the limit on how you choose to vary it. Add sliced cooked carrots, roasted squash or boiled sweet potatoes to the dish. But remember, the juice from the beets will more than likely turn everything red.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We enjoy fresh beets all summer long.
