My Grandma Mary used to make beets a lot, and she would hard boil eggs and put the beets and eggs in oil and vinegar with salt and pepper, sometimes adding garlic, parsley, and basil or any type of Italian spice she felt like using at the time.
This Easter 2015, I made a variation of her dish. I boiled fresh beets and peeled them, then marinated them in olive oil, red wine vinegar, and added fresh uncooked spinach, lots of parsley, onion, salt and pepper. You can add garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, or any other seasoning you prefer. You can add boiled eggs to this dish.
It's very simple and very delicious!
