RED SALAD
If you love beets, (which I didn't till I tried this) you'll love this! My Peruvian mother-in-law taught me how to make this extraordinary recipe! It goes great with fried chicken, but I usually make it when I make my Puerto Rican arroz con pollo. My husband refuses to eat chicken if I don't include this salad.

BEET AND POTATO SALAD
This is a better version of a ubiquitous salad found in takeout shops all over France. Salade Russe, as it is called, is a mayonnaise-dressed mixture of potatoes, diced carrots, peas and other vegetables, but usually not beets. Yogurt vinaigrette stands in for mayonnaise here.

POTATO AND BEET SALAD
Every Easter my Mom would make this potato salad. This is not exactly hers but my version. Don't wait for Easter make it for your next picnic! Do use new potatoes if you like them firm but I myself like my potatoes soft so I find myself using russets, and if you don't want a precise cut salad with firm potatoes use russet. I find myself rough cutting the russets potatoes because they do fall apart and add to the creaminess of the dressing. FYI-You can toss the cubed, cooked, still warm, potatoes with the vinegar or beet juice and let set till cool even up to over night. Then add remaining ingredients.

MOROCCAN COLD BEET SALAD WITH VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Rinse the beetroots. Place in a pot or pressure cooker and cover with cold water. Boil or pressure cook the beets until tender. Test by piercing the beet with a sharp knife; if it can be inserted into the center, the beet is cooked. This can take up to an hour and a half when boiling, and up to 40 minutes when pressure cooking-how long depends on how large the beets are. If the beets you're cooking are different sizes, simply check the cooking at intervals and remove the beets one by one as they're done, drain the beets, rinse under cold running water and slide the skins off while the beets are still warm.
- Allow the beets to cool.
- Cut the beets into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch slices of uniform thickness, and then cut each slice into uniformly sized cubes.
- Transfer the cubed beets to a large bowl and combine with the remaining ingredients, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least an hour or overnight.
- Prior to serving, taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if desired. The salad may be garnished with freshly slivered onion or a little more parsley.

- If you don't have time to roast the beets, you can also boil them or steam them until tender.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as carrots, celery, or radishes.
- For a more creamy dressing, you can use Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of mayonnaise.
- If you want a sweeter salad, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
