Once you top our Tomato Aspic with a tangy dressing -- ours includes chopped beets, hard-boiled eggs, and chives -- you'll no doubt find yourself wondering why you didn't try this summertime staple sooner.

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium beets, trimmed and scrubbed
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
3 large hard-boiled eggs
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
4 fresh chives, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Fill a medium saucepan 3/4 full of water; add beets and salt, and bring to a boil. Simmer beets until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain; set aside until cool enough to handle, about 12 minutes. Using a paper towel, rub off beet skins. Cut beets into 1/4-inch pieces, and set aside.
  • Peel eggs, and separate yolks from whites. Cut whites into 1/4-inch pieces; set aside. Press yolks through a fine sieve into a small bowl; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar and oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, drizzle vinaigrette over each aspic serving. Spoon reserved beets, egg whites, and egg yolks over top, and sprinkle with chives.
