That's an adorable tale about your introduction to beets. This recipe sounds delightful—the citrus and spices must enliven the mellow nature of the beets quite a bit.

beets are awesome, love them. I really enjoy them roasted, and just dressed with good olive oil, sea salt, and sherry vinegar.. not forgetting a little garlic and parsley.

going to have to try these citrus soaked versions.

I LOVE beets too.

My grandpa used to eat canned beats with a BOWL of Mayonnaise (equal parts beets and mayo). The first time I saw him with this "concoction" (he had many) was during a family visit from Okinawa.

I remember loving the pink color the mayo took on after he stirred everything together.

Thanks for this great recipe, and more importantly... thanks for making me think of my grandpa this morning.
