Directions

Quarter the beets into bite sized chunks if they are small, and into eighths if large. Put them in a small saucepan and fill with enough water to steam them. Cover with lid and steam until tender, about 20-25 minutes…but check after 15! Drain beets and allow them to cool. For the dressing, mix together last six ingredients.
