Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 medium beets, scrubbed
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup mayonnaise
20 pitted prunes, chopped
3 cloves garlic, pressed
salt to taste

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Stir the walnuts, prunes and garlic into the beets, then mix in the mayonnaise and season to taste with salt.

This salad is a bit bland. I added some chopped fresh herbs to give it more flavor.

I found that the salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I added a squeeze of lemon juice to balance out the sweetness.

I'm not a big fan of walnuts, so I substituted pecans instead. The pecans added a nice nutty flavor to the salad.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I always have a few beets left over from making borscht, and this salad is a great way to use them up.

I added some crumbled goat cheese to this salad, and it was amazing! The goat cheese added a creamy richness that took the salad to the next level.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time. The flavors meld together nicely overnight, and it's even better the next day.

I'm not usually a fan of beets, but this salad changed my mind. The sweetness of the beets was perfectly balanced by the tartness of the prunes and the crunch of the walnuts.

This salad was a hit at my dinner party! The combination of sweet beets, crunchy walnuts, and chewy prunes was divine. I also loved the tangy dressing.
