Hi! Several years ago, a friend of mine spent several months in a rural part of Russia. While there she had a beet salad that she remembers as being made with beets, mayo (or maybe sour cream?)and garlic. Does anyone know of this? I have made it with mayo and I think it is really good, but am wondering if there should be other ingredients or if it's just that simple.  ------------- Miladyelfn Epicurean and Purveyor of Good Food.

Slavyanka makes one like this, only she uses sour cream instead of mayo and adds walnuts and/or raisins. You can also use diced prunes. http://natashaskitchen.com/moms-creamy-beet-salad-recipe/ - https://natashaskitchen.com/moms-creamy-beet-salad-recipe/ ------------- |

Russian Beetroot Salad .. 1 kilo of potatoes 1/ 2 kilo of red beetroot 1/ 2 cup of diced celery 1/ 8 cup sweet pickle hand made relish a splash or 2 of White wine or White cider vinegar Extra Virgin Olive Oil ( 1 tablsp. per person ) 1 Tablesp Dijon Mustard salt to taste white peppercorns ground or White pepper to taste 2 or 3 carrots diced finely Serve on a bed of various lettuces of choice ( boil beet root separately from the potatoes and the carrots = 3 pots ) .. Quite tasty .. You could probably add sour cream or mayo as well if you wish .. I am lactose intolerant so I cannot eat sourcream .. I add handmade Mayo which is just the yolk of an egg, and extra virgin olive oil = ali oli ) .. ------------- Volamos a Mediterraneo, un paraiso que conquista su gente u su cocina. |
