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. Ingredients:
5 medium beets, scrubbed |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
20 pitted prunes, chopped |
3 cloves garlic, pressed |
salt to taste |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. Stir the walnuts, prunes and garlic into the beets, then mix in the mayonnaise and season to taste with salt.
