Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds medium beets (about 4; 2 1/2 pounds with greens), trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Method

  • Cover beets generously with water in a heavy medium saucepan and simmer until tender when pierced in center with a knife, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool to warm, then slip off skins. Cut beets into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together vinegar, onion, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking, then add warm beets and parsley and toss. Season with additional sugar and salt. Serve warm or at room temperature.
