I'm lame and used canned beets which I gently reheated and frozen pearl onions that I put in the pan with the beets. After it cooled down to lukewarm, I poured the dressing mix over it and let it set for 10 minutes. It was still delicious even with the prepared ingredients.
Add grated fresh or bottled horseradish and chives instead of the onion for a wonderful salad.
Simple and delicious. Don’t skimp on the pepper. I used golden beets.
Used canned beets and marinated overnight for an easy make-ahead dish. Brought to room temperature and served as a side with salmon Coulibiac (aka Russian Kulebiaka). Outstanding: beautiful color and the tangy sauce complemented the salmon perfectly. Added some leftovers to coleslaw, and also enjoyed with a tuna salad. Excellent.
Very nice alternative to pickled beets. I suggest using sweet onion instead of the sugar. I mixed the dressing separately before stirring in with the cooked beets so they could be "gently" folded with the dressing.
