Chilled Beets with Sour Cream
Sourced from Real Simple
INGREDIENTS
METHOD
Place the beets and 1 tablespoon of the salt in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until a paring knife can be inserted smoothly into a beet, about 25 minutes, depending on size.
Drain and rinse under cold running water until beets are cool enough to handle.
Remove the skins. Place beets in bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until cool.
Slice the beets in half lengthwise. Arrange the halves on a serving plate.
Drizzle with oil and vinegar, then sprinkle with the remaining salt and the pepper. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and dill.
