Pickled Beets Suggestions please!
I adore my gramas pickled beets.
I love them straight up, or in my potato salad.
I was craving this relish/salad my papa used to make with diced pickled beets, diced pickled herring, diced gerkens, fresh dill, diced red onion and fresh cracked pepper
....and I realized how versatile pickled beets can be.
My question for you Serious Eaters:
What is your favourite Pickled Beet application?
Care to share some secrets?
TIA :D hungrychristel

How do I love my pickled beets? When I'm pregnant, straight out of the jar, standing in front of the open fridge in the middle of the night, wearing my fuzzy slippers -- the stain on my fingers telling the tale of my night foragings in the morning.

I've been eating beets with feta cheese, watermelon, toasted pumpkin seeds, and a drizzle of honey.

@chalmers - reallly? in the "ground meat mix" or on top? sounds great!

Straight out of the jar, or on a green salad. ranch dressing preferable.

I like to eat them right from the jar. I also like them laid on a plate, alternated with slices of hardboiled eggs, drizzled with a dressing made from mayo thinned out with some of the pickled beet juice. A cashier at my grocery store let me in on this when she saw I was purchasing pickled beets.
Yes, I know it sounds weird, but it is delicious, and very pretty.

Thanks so much you guys!
I cant wait to add some versatility to my addiction!
@CJ McD: I can imagine how good tht would taste! Like: on crackers, sandwich or salad. Definitely a must for me now. Camembert maybe? Or too rich?
