well. Place unpeeled beets in a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to
a boil over high heat. Then reduce heat to medium and simmer, partially covered,

sugar, oil and salt.

to handle. Trim root ends and peel beets. Slice beets into wedges, thick strips
or rounds.

3.Add warm beets to vinegar mixture and toss to evenly coat. Sprinkle with green
onion. Great warm or at room temperature. Beets will keep well, covered and
