Tiny heart shaped pickled beets, the perfect Valentine’s Day salad topping.
Time now to declare my love for pickled beets. I say that because I have a couple friends that tease me and think it’s sooo funny (and gross) that I love pickled beets…but I do love them, I really do.
You might remember the beet salad on a stick , but here’s a quick way to consume and present your sliced pickled beets in a pretty way for Valentine’s Day.
Or you could serve them up on a tooth pick as an appetizer. Either way, I think they are good and cute and pretty and smart. 😉 (I’ve lost it…)
To make them, find the tiniest heart shaped cookie cutter you have and just press down on one beet slice to make these tiny hearts, I mean heart beets.
To make the little tooth pick arrows, I used this arrow cutting die from We R Memory Keepers. I love that little die, it’s perfect for Valentine making.
Tell me are you a beet lover too? Or do you strongly dislike them?

Oh good! Thanks Jen! I love that you do a Valentine’s Day dinner. So fun!
These are so cute (and so punny!) I’ve been living under a rock on Mars for the last twenty-odd years and I don’t think I’ve ever actually eaten a beet, but reading this makes me want to try one. Thanks for sharing!
Oooh! You’ll have to try them! 🙂
You make them look so good!
thanks Chari!
Maybe, just maybe this might help me like these little guys. Super cute apps!
I never used to like beets but my husband did and my CSA always gave me an abundance of them. I learned to pickle and can them and now I love them. I also love them roasted. If you don’t pickle your own, you are welcome to stop by and grab my easy peasy recipe. Thank you so much for the cute idea. I think I will use it when I make my hubs his valentine dinner this year.
Oh good! I’ll have to try it! Thanks! I hope you have a fun night together. 🙂
Kami, this is so darling! Thanks for the great idea to make salads more fun during the holiday!
Hi Jenny! You bet! 🙂
Love these heart beets! Such a cute idea!
