Pickled Beets

Pickled beets charm in salad preparations, lending color, texture and their signature flavor. Try them layered with fresh mozzarella and a drizzle of olive oil, or tossed with arugula and garnished with ricotta salata (see related recipe at left). Or eat these beets straight from the jar. Any beet variety, from red to gold to red-and-white-striped Chioggias, can be used.
