Submitted by Sharon123

"A traditional salad, often served around Christmas. It is vegetarian and I have added options to make it vegan. Cooking time is for boiling, if roasting, the cooking time will be about an hour."

I made this as part of a Scandinavian buffet meal. I doubled it and added salt and pepper to the dressing after tasting it. To make it easier for serving, I added mixed the salad with the dressing, and served it on a platter covered in lettuce, with egg wedges and chopped parsley as the garnish. This salad is very good and was well received by all. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

We love beet salad, and the dressing made from whipping cream brought it over the top! This was so good that we actually both ate two servings. Thanks for sharing :)<br/>Made for ZWT 9 Family Picks for The Apron String Travelers
