The Ruby of the Pantry: The Ultimate Easy Pickled Beets Recipe

3 Ways to Serve Your Pickled Beets

  1. The Modern Salad: Toss sliced pickled beets with arugula, toasted walnuts, and a generous crumble of goat cheese or feta.
  2. The “Pink” Deviled Egg: Use the leftover beet brine to soak hard-boiled eggs for a few hours. They’ll turn a stunning bright pink on the outside and take on a delicious pickled flavor.
  3. The Charcuterie Board: Use them as a palate cleanser alongside sharp cheddar and salty cured meats.

Chef’s Note

Beets are famous for staining everything they touch! If you want to keep your hands from turning pink, wear a pair of thin kitchen gloves while peeling and slicing. If you do get stained, a little lemon juice and salt can help scrub the color away.
