I grew up in Austria and was raised with this salad accompaning many dishes.<br/>This recipe is OK, but I would reduce the caraway seeds to 1/2 Tbs and just 1 Tbs of oil, use brown sugar and julienne cut red onions. The cloves can be omitted as well.<br/>If possible use fresh home grown beeds.<br/>The goal is to preserve and enhance the original delicate sweet flavor of the beeds and not overpower or cover it up. -
This turned out very nicely for our German Christmas party, although the beets took FOREVER to cook (I think it ended up being 3.5 hrs or something). I marinated it for about 6 hours and the flavour was very good.

After initially mixing all the ingredients and tasting I was a bit sceptical. However, after several hours in the fridge everything really pulled together quite nicely. I used olive oil instead of vegetable and omitted half the caraway as for my personal preference. Guten appetit! -
this was really good! i cheated and used 2 cans of sliced beets, and i omitted the caraway seeds, but the dressing is light and very tasty

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
