Pickled Beet Juice Vinaigrette

By Leslie Blythe

I love Pickled Beets and Eggs. It's something I grew up eating. You either love them or hate them! I made a batch and was staring at them thinking that I could make a vinaigrette out of the juice. Why not?! Pickled Beet Juice Vinaigrette is definitely going to stay in my repertoire. It worked really well in the salad I made with the pickled eggs, hearts of palm (I love those too!), cherry tomatoes, cheese, and arugula. Oh, and I also have a recipe for Pickled Deviled Eggs with Crispy Prosciutto!

  • Prep: 5 mins
  • Yields: Makes ¾ cup

Ingredients

¼ cup pickled beet juice

2 teaspoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon dijon mustard

½ cup olive oil

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1Combine the pickled beet juice, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, then slowly whisk in the oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Wow, I’ve been looking at a recipe with beet juice. I made it yesterday and my husband and I had it on a green salad last night.

Thanks so much, Leslie. It was WONDERFUL. Now, I know what to do with my pickled beet juice that we make.

They have that Hearts of Palm pasta at Trader Joe’s.

What a great idea! I love pickled beet juice, and have never thought to use it in dressings. Must try immediately. (I like to dip tortilla chips in beet juice, too. Just sayin’.)

Leslie, I’m also a big fan of hearts of palm. Have you seen this new product called “Palmini”? It’s HoP cut in long thin strands to resemble linguine. It was created to be a pasta replacer for low-carb people, but it’s quite delicious on its own.

This is an Amazon link, but I found mine in a local grocery at half this price:
https://www.amazon.com/Palmini-Pasta-Carbs-Shark-Pouch/dp/B079T9R4RP?th=1

Reading that Amazon listing, I just learned that Palmini got their funding on Shark Tank. Huh.

Thank you for finding another way to use the yummy pickling liquid leftover when all the beets are gone! I’ll sometimes sip some (kvass!), but this is a great reuse!

Pickled beet vinaigrette is my favorite when I make a simple berry salad with pickled beet, walnuts, and goat or feta. I FINALLY have a good vinaigrette recipe to add…thank you for sharing!!!

Trader Joe’s now carries pickled beets. They’re in a jar in the aisle where the olives and other shelf stable items are. They’re delicious. I’m going to try this recipe with the juice from the jar.
