BEETS, PICKLED BEET SALAD WITH RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE
Ingredients • 2 tablespoons vegetable broth • 3 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar • 1 tablespoon raspberry vinegar • 2 teaspoons sugar • 2 teaspoons olive oil • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper • 2 (15-ounce) cans sliced beets, drained • 1 red onion, chopped • 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
Directions Combine the broth, cider vinegar, raspberry vinegar, sugar, oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the beets and red onion; toss to coat. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day to allow the flavors to blend. Sprinkle the beets with the lemon zest and serve at once.
Food Note: It's fun to experiment with different-flavored vinegars, such as the apple-cider and raspberry versions in this salad. Try other combinations, including Champagne, balsamic, tarragon, red-wine, white-wine, or sherry.
