Simple salad from boiled beets

This recipe for a salad with boiled beets will appeal to both lovers of spicy snacks and adherents of a healthy lifestyle. Ingredients:

• Beet - 1 large or 2 small;
• Table vinegar - half a glass;
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons;
• Black ground pepper - 2 pinch;
• Salt - to your taste.

Preparation:All we need to prepare this salad is to boil and marinate the beets. So first we wash the beets thoroughly (they grew in the ground, after all) and boil them in their skins. To fully cook the beets, you need to boil them for a long time, although very young root vegetables that come straight from the garden will cook twice as fast. To speed up the process, you can boil the beets halfway and then cool them under cold running water. So, the beets are boiled, cooled, and now we will peel them and cut them into thin strips. For the marinade, we will prepare a solution of acetic acid or use six percent table vinegar: simply pour vinegar over the chopped beets and leave for ten to fifteen minutes. Then drain the liquid, put the beets in a salad bowl, add pepper and salt and season with vegetable oil. The simplest salad that can be made from beets is ready.
