I was gifted a few white beets so I decided to use my grandmother's old recipe. It was quite tasty.

Gorgeous photos. I love white beets (the red ones are so messy!) Your grannie's recipe will be made as soon as the beets are ready in the garden.
I am not all that fond of the greens but want to try your recipe

Thx Bergy, the greens are not my favourite either, but I can't throw anything that can be eaten out, lol.

It looks wonderful. And, I have to admit. Never seen or ate a white beet. The red obviously are common. Golden I love, but harder to find. White, that is new to me. I will have to keep an eye out for them.

Looks like a delicious dish! Nice crisp clean, photos. Great photos as always.

Thx Kim These beets look like a big radish before you peel them because they are red on the outside. And they are variegated red and white raw, the red lines disappear as you cook the beets. They are a milder tasting beet, similar to the golden beets.

Thx Lee. My grandmother used to make a salad with the raw beet greens also. I should look around and see if she wrote that recipe out in her recipe book. I remember her cleaning the greens and then tossing them with oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and pressed garlic cloves, she would then add different raw veggies, whatever was in season. It was a bit bitter but not too bitter.
