Time 2h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 medium beets, rinse and scrub
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon (or 1 tsp. dried)
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat gas grill on high heat. Turn one burner off, then reduce the other burner(s) to medium.
  • Individually wrap each beet in foil. Place beets over the off area and cover. Cook, turning the beets occasionally, until just tender, 45-60 minutes. Cool completely. Peel and slice beets into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk balsamic vinegar, tarragon, brown sugar, salt and pepper until combined. Gradually whisk in oil until dressing thickens. Add beets and onions and toss well.
  • Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least one hour. Serve chilled.
