Beet, Walnut and Prune Salad image

This beet salad works great as a side dish. It's garlicky, creamy, sweet, a little crunchy, and a little salty. Enjoy this authentic Russian recipe that everyone in my family always makes.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 medium beets, scrubbed
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup mayonnaise
20 pitted prunes, chopped
3 cloves garlic, pressed
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place the beets into a saucepan and fill with just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat until tender enough to pierce with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain and rub off peels. Run under cold water until cool enough to handle, then grate using the largest setting. Place in a serving bowl.
  • Stir the walnuts, prunes and garlic into the beets, then mix in the mayonnaise and season to taste with salt.
