What to do with a can of beets ? (restaurant, butter, vinegar)

[11jay11]

I love picked beets but I have a can of plain beets, what entry for beets do you suggest?

[evening sun]

beet & feta salad, or any salad you like, add beets

We put them in our Greek salad.

BTW - our Greek salad also has potato salad in the center of it, something we picked-up from a Greek restaurant in Florida.

I love canned beets. I just use them as a side dish. Drain well. Zap for a minute or 2 and then mix with butter and fresh ground pepper.

Beets, fresh orange slices, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and sea salt.

Oh my gosh, what great answers! YES!

I eat them out of the can as a side dish with sandwiches. Also put them in smoothies with fruit and yogurt.

You can search for a Harvards Beets recipe (like a sweet & sour beet). It's an acquired taste that I grew up with. My granny used to be the family beets maker. I'm the only one who knows how to make them. We all love them especially during the holidays.

In addition to the good suggestions that were already offered, my thought is to prepare a small amount of honey mustard vinaigrette, and toss the beets lightly with that dressing.
Deelish!

Okay I was going to be snarky and say throw them in the trash, but this sounds good. I was traumatized by some beets when I was a young child. Maybe I should give them another chance? Aren't they a super food?
