SWEDISH PICKLED BEET AND APPLE SALAD
According to Marcus Samuelsson, this is a very traditional Swedish salad and a classic accompaniment to Swedish meatballs. I made it, using his pickled beet recipe (posted here), but you could certainly substitute your own favorite. It's very easy to put together and should be served warm or at room temperature, so if you make it ahead, make sure to let it 'unchill' before serving. I have made it with real mayo and sour cream and with lite mayo and fat-free sour cream--you can hardly tell the difference and the latter saves a lot of fat and calories.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Add the onion and apples and saute for three to five minutes, until apples have softened.
- Transfer to a medium bowl and sprinkle with the lemon juice.
- Add the beets and capers and toss well.
- Mix the mayo and sour cream together, then add to the salad, tossing gently to coat.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer to serving bowl or individual plates and garnish with the parsley and chives.
- Note: Use a glass or stainless bowl because the beets will stain plastic and some ceramics.
- Note 2: You can also do this with baby beets if you're lucky enough to find them at a farmer's market--increase the number of beets relative to their size.

SWEDISH PICKLED BEETS
This is Marcus Samuellson's recipe for the traditional Swedish condiment. It calls for his Swedish 1-2-3 Vinegar, the recipe for which is posted. The beets should sit in the refrigerator for at least two days before you serve them, but they will keep in the refrigerator for up to a month. (So he says--mine disappeared the day they were served.)

Steps:
- Put everything except the vinegar into a medium pot and bring to a boil.
- Simmer over medium heat about thirty to forty five minutes, or until the beets are tender.
- Drain and cool slightly.
- When beets are still warm (but cooled enough to handle), peel and cut into quarters.
- Place in a quart jar or other container with a lid and pour the vinegar over the beets.
- Note: Use glass if possible--anything plastic and some ceramics will discolor.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least two days before serving.
