Still licking my chops with this recipe. We love beets, but I hate the prep (and red fingers) so I always buy bags of vacuum-packed, pre-cooked beets from the supermarket - a great timesaver and very inexpensive. The dressing was wonderful and I added capers 'by eye' as they are stated in the directions but seem to be a forgotten ingredient in the ingredient list. Bright, sprightly flavours that counterpoint the sweet, earthy deepness of the beets.
