How to Make Cold Beet Salad

1. Place the beets into a large saucepan with enough water to cover the beets by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the beets are easily pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes; drain. Chill beets in refrigerator until cool enough to handle.

2. Peel the beets and grate into a large bowl. Stir the prunes, walnuts, and pickle with the beets. Add the mayonnaise and stir until all the ingredients are evenly coated. Chill completely before serving.

Cold Beet Salad Reviews

• Essentially this recipe is a classic.Tasty summertime salad or side dish - EXCEPT for the MAYONNAISE. Too heavy. Try it with a vinaigrette.

• Thank you for the recipe, the crunch of the walnuts is a plus

• I agree with Mike. The mayo seemed bland. A vinaigrette would have given the beet salad more pazazze. I added 1 Tbsp. each of fresh Lime juice & Lemon juice. I may add a bit more or some vinegar. I think the beets taste best just cooked and sliced.

• Great recipe. The mayonnaise adds to the mouth feel of the recipe. Dilute it if you want but dont leave it out entirely. The texture and taste of this salad is refreshingly different.
