Quickest dish · 10 min
Beet sour cream open sandwich
Herring's vegetarian cousin. Beets, sour cream, dill, thin onion. Rye would be right; the freezer loaf is honest. Don't make a salad on bread.
Quickest drink · 6 min
Beet ginger cooler
A slice of cooked beet, not a juice bar. Ginger and lemon do the drinking.
