classic pickled beets recipe

Use gloves when peeling beets to avoid staining your hands.

For a spicier twist, add a few black peppercorns or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the brine.

Swap white vinegar for apple cider vinegar for a milder, fruitier flavor.

These beets pair beautifully with goat cheese, arugula, or citrus-based salads.
