Ingredients

1-2 medium sized fresh beets (2 inches in diameter - OR use 3-4 smaller beets, whatever is available. You want the amounts of the root veggies to be about equal to one another. Hint: the salad will not be as tasty if you use canned beets!)1 large peeled potato1 large peeled carrot2 dill pickles1 small can of peas, drained1 small onion1 tbsp olive oil1 or 2 sprigs of fresh dill, choppedsalt to taste

Directions

Boil the beet separately from the potato and carrot.
The potato and carrots should be cooked but firm.
The beet will take much longer to cook! Once you can get a fork in and out of it with ease, it's ready to take out and cool.
Once the boiled vegetables are cooked and cooled (and the beet is peeled) cut them into small pieces, and mix in a bowl together.
Cut the pickles and onion, mix with the vegetables.
Add peas, dill and olive oil, a dash of salt and mix well.
Cover and put in fridge for about 1 hour to let flavors marry.

Traditionally this recipe includes saurekraut it adds the perfect flavor to the salad. Also, chopped parsley. And the vegetables do need to be diced. The salad shouldnt be mushy all pieces should be firm enough to keep their shape. Can be refrigerated for several days. Allow flavors to mingle. - 6/20/08

Made this for supper tonight. Doubled the recipe and doubled the serving size, served on a bed of lettuce for a main dish instead of side. So good. The amount of nutrients is amazing! Hubby loved it. This takes a little preparation but I will definately make it again. Thanks for a great recip! - 7/24/08

Has anyone who has rated this recipe actually made it? I think it would be great if people would wait until they made and tasted a recipe before they rate it. - 6/20/08

I've never cooked beets before and wanted to try them, so I made this salad with beets from the Farmer's Market. I skipped the pickles because my husband won't eat them, even mixed in something. I thought the recipe was wonderful and is making me a beet convert! - 7/4/10

I'm sure fresh is best, but no fresh beets available right now. Tried it with canned, and it was still very good. Enough to make me go hunting "real" fresh beets! - 3/26/10

this is a staple of any russian festive table (the roots of this salad as far as i understand are scandinavian)--by all means, this salad is excellent, just watch the carbs: beets, potatos and carrots pack a punch! - 10/23/09
