Preparation

  1. Place the beets in a large saucepan, cover with tepid tap water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and cook gently for approximately 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until tender. Drain and cool to lukewarm.
  2. Peel the beets and cut them into 1/4-inch slices. Place in a bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients. Serve at room temperature, but not cold.
