INSTRUCTIONS
Put beets onto the tray inside the steamer. Secure lid.
Select Vegetables, set timer for 30 minutes (large beets may take up to 40 minutes). Once timer expires, test the beets for doneness — they should be able to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Add additional time if necessary.
Peel the beets with a paring knife; the skin should easily pull away from the flesh of the beet. Once peeled, cut the beets into small wedges.
Place wedges into a mixing bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
