INSTRUCTIONS
Serves 4 to 5.
Trim the beets of their stems and greens, and place them in a medium-large
(non reactive) saucepan. Cover them with water, bring to a boil, and cook
until they are tender enough for a fork to slide in easily (about 25
minutes).
Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, garlic, honey, and salt in a medium-large
bowl. Stir until well-combined.
Rinse the cooked beets under cold running water as you rub off their skins.
Chop them into l/2-inch bits, and while they are still warm, add them to
the vinegar mixture. Let stand 30 minutes.
Add all remaining ingredients. Mix well, and chill until very cold.
Variations: Or roast beets, 350F, covered for about 45 minutes or more. Let
stand until cool enough to handle. Just the beets with pickling juice, and
diced jicama and/or firm tofu instead of the egg white. Serve yogurt mixed
with cucumbers on side. Just this with mesclun.
