6 medium beets (cooked until tender)
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cucumber, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup sour cream (I use light) or 1/2 cup plain yogurt (I use light)
1/4 cup mayonnaise (I use light)

  • Note: Cook time is for boiling beets.

Tips:

  • To enhance the flavor of the salad, use fresh, crisp cucumbers and beets. If the cucumbers are bitter, peel them before slicing.
  • For a sweeter salad, use golden beets or candy-striped beets. For a more earthy flavor, use Chioggia beets or bull's blood beets.
  • If you don't have fresh horseradish, you can use prepared horseradish sauce. However, fresh horseradish has a more pungent flavor.
  • To make the dressing ahead of time, whisk together all of the ingredients except for the mayonnaise and sour cream. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Before serving, stir in the mayonnaise and sour cream.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for up to 2 hours before serving.
