An elderly lady residing in Turkey served this to a friend of ours while he was in that country several years ago. She has since passed away, but her recipe lives on. It is the best Borscht recipe I've ever enjoyed. Serve topped with sour cream, extra dill weed, chopped fresh tomatoes.

RUSSIAN BEET SALAD



Russian Beet Salad image

I made this salad for our Easter dinner. It's quite good and loaded with healthy ingredients. I got the recipe from my sisters' mama-in-law. It's so simple to throw together. You can easily adjust the size of the salad because it has equal parts of all the main ingredients. It's made with shredded raw potato that is fried till golden brown and crunchy. It's incredibly fast and easy to make if you use a food processor with a grater attachment.
