BEET AND POTATO SALAD



Beet and Potato Salad image

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.

  • Cook the beets over medium heat for 45- 60 minutes, or until fork-tender in a separate pot. The cooking time will depend on the size of the beets. Drain and let them cool slightly. Peel and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. When still warm, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to cover. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, dill, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust salt, if necessary.
  • Mix cooked potatoes, beets, shallot, green peas, and corn in a large bowl. Gently mix in the dressing until it coats the potatoes well.
  • Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. If you have time to make it ahead, it tastes even better the next day!

POTATO AND BEET SALAD



Potato and Beet Salad image

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.

BEET AND POTATO SALAD



Beet and Potato Salad image

Humble potatoes and beets create a robust entree when combined with garlicky wilted greens and blue cheese.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

16 baby red or golden beets (about 3 pounds), greens trimmed and reserved
20 fingerling potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Coarse salt, to taste
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
5 ounces mild blue cheese (preferably Danish blue), crumbled
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add beets, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, and let cool. Peel and quarter beets.
  • Meanwhile, put potatoes into another pan, and cover with water by about 1 inch. Add salt, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, and let cool. Halve lengthwise.
  • Coarsely chop beet greens (you will need about 4 cups). Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beet greens, and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer greens to paper towels to drain.
  • Toss together beets, potatoes, beet greens, blue cheese, pepper, and remaining oil. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked beets or canned beets.
  • For a creamier salad, use full-fat yogurt or sour cream instead of Greek yogurt.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon of dried dill or chives instead.
  • For a spicier salad, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.
