Chilled Beet Salad image

I got this from Raymond Sokolov's "Jewish American Kitchen." I'm posting his introduction as is, because I agree with it 100%. I've tweaked the quantities a bit, and it is delicious. He says "Here is my favorite of all salads. Bland, solid, earthy beets are enlivened with a mayonnaise spiked with horseradish, mustard, sour cream, and scallions." When I make it, I double the sauce because it's so delicious! Total time includes the time to cook and peel the beets.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 medium beets, cooked and peeled (see NOTE)
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon prepared white horseradish
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced scallions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • NOTE: The best way I've found to peel/cook beets is from Mary Winecoff's Baked Beets recipe (http://www.recipezaar.com/251586). She wraps each beet in a square of tin foil and bakes them at 400 degrees for a hour to an hour and a half. When beets are cool enough to handle, just slip the skins off.
  • Slice, dice or chop the beets. I usually cube them into 1/2 size.
  • Place all the remaining ingredients (except the dill) in a serving bowl, add the beets and mix gently but thoroughly.
  • Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
