How to cook deliciously - Chilled Beet Salad

1. Stage

Scrub the beets under running water to remove any dirt left on the vegetables. Trim off the stems, leaving no more than 1 inch remaining. Place the beets into a small saucepan and cover with water. Set the heat to high and bring the beets to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook for 30 to 60 minutes until they are fork-tender. Remove the beets from the water and allow them to cool completely.

2. Stage

When the beets have cooled, peel off the skins using your fingers—the skins should come off easily after cooling. Thinly slice the beets and the onion and place them into a small bowl. Add the balsamic vinegar, canola oil, minced basil and crushed garlic. Season the salad with salt and pepper and toss to combine the ingredients. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate overnight. The chilled beet salad is ready to serve.
