    If you are a fan of pickled beets this Pickled Beet Salad is for you!  Spicy, sweet, substantial and easy!

    If you are not a fan then maybe go to the next recipe 'cuz those beets are going to be everywhere in this salad!

    You are going to start with a jar of pickled beets and you are going to use the juice to pickle hard boiled eggs and red onion as well as for the base for your dressing.  Follow the link in the ingredients for instructions on how to make perfect hard boiled eggs.

    To start with transfer the beets from your jar. Julienne 2 cups of them  and transfer into a separate container.  Reserve the remainder of the beets in another container. Then you are going to gently add your hard boiled eggs and slivered onions to the jar with the pickled beet juice.

    The eggs and onion need 24 hours to 'pickle' in the beet juice. You don't want to leave the eggs much more than 24 hours in the juice or it will seep into the yolk and discolour the yolk.   The onions can stay as long as you like. So you need to plan ahead a bit.

    When I was making my salad I just removed the eggs from the pickle juice around the 24 hour mark and transferred them to a separate container until I was ready to assemble the salad.

    The amounts for the ingredients here are flexible.  Especially the beets - you can use anywhere from ½ of them to all of them depending on how much you like them and how much volume of salad you want.

    You could add some toasted walnuts if you want to doll it up a bit. Toasted walnuts and beets are a perfect combination. You could also add croutons if you like.

    With the eggs and the feta you have a good amount of protein going on here.  This would serve 4 as a main salad and 6 or more as a side.

      Due to traveling I had to cut my hard boiled eggs in half, remove the yolk then put whites in the pickle juice. It worked! I used the crumbled yolks as a topping- very chic. Will make again!
