One of my go to recipes, love it!
Yes yes yes so good did add dill used grease beets and green onion!
I made this with fresh cooked beets and dijon mustard and it was delicious. Perfect for making ahead, as it keeps great in the refrigerator for a week or more. Now making my second batch to take to a picnic later this week!
These were ok. They just tasted like sweeter beets with onions. Wouldn’t make again.
Still cooling but flavor is just what I was looking for. I did not add sugar. Wanting tang, not sweet.
This was delicious and easy. The only change is I used fresh beets rather than canned.
Very good! I cut back a little on the sugar per some of the reviews. Also added a bit of salt and garlic powder. Nice as a side or added to a garden salad. Thanks for the recipe!
Used fresh beets from my Dad’s garden. LOVED this recipe. Next time I will double the vinegar. I’m a vinegar super fan.
This is yummy for all us beet lovers and easy too. I subbed balsamic vinegar and cut sugar to 2 TB. Keeper recipe.
Delicious and simple recipe! My 2yr old loves the marinated beets from the grocery store olive bar and I was looking for something close to that. This recipe does that and it’s even better than the grocery store version. I boiled fresh beets and halved the sugar, and I only had apple cider vinegar but it all turned out great. Yum!!
So simple, and delicious. I did add chopped red onion.
This is one of my families favorite salads as a side to fish for Friday night dinner!
This recipe is excellent as is using canned beets. But I tried it fresh beets and it was over the moon terrific! I use two bunches (about 4 -6 medium to large) and double the marinade amounts but not double the onion. I serve chilled on a separate dinner plate with goat cheese sprinkle on top.
Easy and delish way to dress up canned beets.
This is so delicious. Nobody in my family likes beets and I was looking for something that I could enjoy. I’m so glad they don’t like beets, because this was so simple and delicious and I don’t have to share. Thanks for a great recipe.
This was delicious! Simple and easy to make – will make again!
Perfect beet recipe! My wife never liked beets, but is now a fan. Always have some in the fridge. Usually use four cans and double the marinade. We like sliced beets… lots easier. Thanks for the recipe. It’s a keeper.
I had already steamed 4 med beets in my iPot when I came here looking for a marinade for them. The weight came to about 13.5 ounces. I basically followed the recipe, but omitted the onions and used Apple Cider Vinegar instead of the white wine vinegar. Very quick, easy and delicious. Will do this again next time.
I didn’t have any WWV, so I used RWV; it was good, but too sweet. Purchased WWV and cut the sugar to 2T, but it still wasn’t right. Used RWV and 2T sugar, and it’s pretty much close to perfection (as compared to a local salad bar’s marinated beet salad).
I make this at least once every month. Love beets and this recipe is “the bomb”. Used regular onions because that is all I had and it was great. Next time I make it I will go for the red onion. Thank you for a keeper.
Awesome make-ahead side dish.
