Beauty and the Beets

Beets. Beets! Denizens of salad bars everywhere. We are huge fans of the beet.

They are most commonly known for their red bulbous roots, but the greens of the beet are edible too. This week? Too much work! So we tossed the greens and made my personal favorite incarnation of the beet, the marinated beet.
