6 beets, stems removed
4 large carrots, cut diagonally into 1 1/2-inch slices
1 large onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
Dressing:
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 teaspoons dried dill
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil

1
Place whole beets in a pot and cover with water. Bring water to a boil, cover the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until beets are tender, about 30 minutes.
2
Place carrots in a microwave-safe dish and cook on high until firm but tender, about 6 minutes. Place carrots in a colander under cold water to stop the cooking process, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove peels and discard; cut beets into thin slices.
3
Whisk cider vinegar, sugar, ginger, orange zest, dill, sea salt, garlic powder, mustard, and black pepper together in a microwave-safe bowl until sugar and salt dissolve. Whisk oil into cider dressing mixture. Microwave dressing on high for 2 minutes; whisk again.
4
Combine beets, carrots, and onions together in a large container; pour dressing on top and mix well. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
