Red Beet Salad Greek Style

Ingredients

• 800 g red beets
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1 clove garlic
• Salt
• black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.5 bunch flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash the red beets, place them in a pot and fill with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 45 minutes.

2. 2.

   Pierce the beets with a fork to test doneness, then drain, let cool, and peel. Slice the beets and transfer to a bowl. Whisk olive oil and vinegar together until smooth. Peel and press the garlic, then stir into the dressing; season with salt and pepper.

3. 3.

   Pour the dressing over the beet slices and fold gently to coat. Cover the salad and let it rest for 1 hour at room temperature. Taste again, finely chop parsley, fold in, and serve with fresh white bread.
