ingredients

6 medium beets cooked
1 1/2 cup asparagus tips cooked and cut up in small pieces
3 hard boiled eggs chopped fine
1/4 cup sour cream to bind (or as needed)
lettuce leaf cups

directions

Hollow out the center of each beet. Mix asparagus, egg, and sour cream, season with salt and pepper to taste. Fill each center of beet with the mixture. Place each beet on a lettuce leaf cup. May top each beet with extra sour cream.

Note: slice a small piece of beet from the bottom so beet will stand up straight. May serve an additional dressing to pour over the beet such as a favorite vinaigrette or cream type salad dressing. One can also julienne the parts of beet hollowed and sliced and surround the lettuce cups with it.
