German Beet Salad Recipe
(Rote Beete Salat)
The light tartness of the vinegar in this German beet salad recipe gives it a wonderful sweet-and-sour quality. As with other beet recipes, this tasty side dish also adds great color to liven up any meal plate.
Beets are known regionally as Rote Beete, Rote Rüben, or Rohnen. Regardless of what they are called, beets are a delicious and nutritious option for salads, soups, and side dishes. With a typical sugar content of about 10%, the mild sweetness of red beets can be cleverly combined with savory and/or sour ingredients to create a variety of interesting flavor combinations.
