Beet Salad

"In this recipe the beets are grated, then dressed. It calls for cooked beets, so they could be roasted or boiled, your choice. You could also use canned beets, but you would have to cut them up really thin in julienne style."

  1. Ok I must have made a mistake! I had 2 roasted beets and one was smaller so I only used about 3 scant tablespoons (maybe even 2 1/2) of prepared horseradish. With my first bite I practically burned my sinuses out! Whew! I'm wondering if I should have used significantly less if using prepared vs. fresh horseradish? I'm really bummed because I was so looking forward to this! I added three garden tomatoes chopped up to the mix to see if it would help mellow. I'll try it again tomorrow and see.
     
  2. Delicious! I roasted two beets for about 30 minutes in the oven set at 180oC. I had to substitute the horseradish to mustard (they are from the same Brassicaceae family, but I know very different in flavour) it was all I had at home. I could have ate the whole serving myself. Served with Recipe #305766 - Thank you Ice Cool Kitty for posting your recipe
     
  3. I had some beautiful beets fresh from the farm, both red and white that I cooked and sliced. I made this exactly as posted thereafter and really enjoyed this simple, flavorful salad. Made by a Tasty Tester for ZWT9.
     
  4. Delicious! I roasted the beets myself and made as directed. There was only a tiny bit left over after dinner, just enough to take a picture. Made for ZWT9, Soup-A-Stars.
     
  5. Delicious! This is a lovely blend of flavors and makes for a great topping or side. The horseradish flavor really comes through and adds some zing. Love it. Thank you. Made for the Soup-A-Stars during ZWT9
