DAVID SAWYER

This sweet, festive salad gives off a lot of juice if it sits for a while, so it's best to assemble it just before serving.

Instructions

Step 1

Put beets into a medium pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook until soft when pierced with tip of a knife, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving I cup of the cooking liquid, and set aside beets and liquid to cool. Cut beets into 1⁄2" × 2" pieces and transfer to a large bowl.
