  • Preparation: 25 min
  • Cooking: 30 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (269 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
  • Contains: dairy

Ingredients

  • 60 g Beets, raw
  • 60 g Potatoes, raw
  • 40 g Carrots, raw
  • 25 g Pickles, dill
  • 15 g Onions, raw
  • 40 g Apples, raw
  • 5 g Vinegar, white
  • 3 g Sugar
  • 20 g Sour cream
  • 0.5 g Salt

Method

  1. Boil the beets, potato and carrot separately, to keep the beet from coloring everything, until tender, then cool, peel and dice.
  2. Dice the pickles, onion and apple into similarly small cubes.
  3. Combine all the diced vegetables and apple in a large bowl and toss gently; the beet will tint everything pink as it sits.
  4. Whisk the vinegar, sugar, salt and sour cream together to make a light dressing.
  5. Fold the dressing through the salad, or serve it alongside for guests to add themselves, and chill before serving.
