Trim the beets of their stems and greens, and place them in a medium-large (non reactive) saucepan.

Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, garlic, honey, and salt in a medium-large bowl. Stir until well-combined. Rinse the cooked beets under cold running water as you rub off their skins. Chop them into l/2-inch bits, and while they are still warm, add them to the vinegar mixture. Let stand 30 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients. Mix well, and chill until very cold. Variations: Or roast beets, 350F, covered for about 45 minutes or more. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Just the beets with pickling juice, and diced jicama and/or firm tofu instead of the egg white. Serve yogurt mixed with cucumbers on side. Just this with mesclun. >1995 :DIET FOR ALL SEASONS, by Elson M.
