Best Beet Salad image

My Mom's recipe for cold beet salad -- the only way she could get us kids to eat beets! Now I add hard-boiled eggs and it is even better. People who do not normally like beets will probably like them this way.

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 eggs
1 bunch beets
½ cup mayonnaise
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place egg in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel, and chop.
  • Before cooking the beets, wash them gently under cold water, being careful not to pierce the thin skin. Place in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and cook until they pierce easily with a thin knife, about 15 minutes.
  • To peel cooked beets, cut off both ends, then hold the beets under cold running water and slip off the skins. Leave to cool until able to handle, then grate them into a medium bowl.
  • Add eggs, mayonnaise, salt and pepper; mix gently. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

This salad was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less honey next time.

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

I'm not usually a fan of beets, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing is so flavorful and the goat cheese adds a nice tang. I'll definitely be making this again.

This beet salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet beets, tangy goat cheese, and crunchy walnuts was divine. I'll definitely be making this again.
