Whenever I share that salad or my tutorial for how to roast beets, two things happen. First, everyone loses their minds sharing their opinions on beets. Second, half the people (the half that like beets, and a few who don’t actually) tell me that they love pickled beets. I decided that since Quick Pickled Red Onions are my favorite thing in the world, I should make you some quick pickled beets. This is a simple spin on that red onion recipe and one that you will make over and over.

My favorite way to use them is in salads. They would be an amazing addition to this easy arugula salad. Another great idea is for a charcuterie board. They would be great in a little bowl with some tooth picks next to it, much in the same way that you would put pickles or olives in a bowl on a charcuterie board.Throw them on your sandwich. These would be fantastic on a hummus sandwich (or an edamame hummus sandwich) with some sprouts, cucumbers and tomatoes.Really get out there. In my research I heard about one person eating Pickled Beets and Peanut Butter Sandwich. I’m not going to lie, I kind of want to try that now!
Beets are low in calories.They are high in vitamins and minerals.Beets are a great source of fiber.
Given that all we are doing when we pickle them is adding a tiny bit of salt, sugar, and then some vinegar, I feel great about adding refrigerator pickled beets to everything.
