In Peru they usually don't put mustard. Usually it's either with just the mayonnaise or with lime juice & salt. It's called "Ensalada Rusa" which translates to "russian salad". Usually the people there add other vegetables to this salad such as cut-up string beans(boiled) and peas or corn.
Nice - like a fancy potato salad - goes well with burgers or chicken. I washed peeled and chunked the pieces ahead of time lowering the cooking time a little bit (15 min for beets add potatoes 10 min add carrots 10 min). Made a nice salad plus I saved the broth for veggie soup.
This was fantastic! I've made it a few times & love adding chopped hard boiled egg & celery.
I too had only had the salad bar version of beets. This was great! I used a sweet potato instead of a regular potato and cut the veggies in chunks to reduce the boiling time. It's definitely a keeper.
A good combination but a little bland for my taste. I added some chopped chives; also needed a bit of salt at the table. But otherwise a nice dish. I peeled and chunked veggies before cooking and pressure cooked them to save time. I put them in a steamer basket with about a cup of water in my pressure cooker. Just 1-2 minutes at pressure then release pressure immediately. The beets should be cut into the smallest chunks and the potatoes in the largest chunks for everything to finish cooking at the same time.
As with other reviewers I chopped up the veggies before cooking them. In order to "sell" my husband on a salad that contains beets I boiled the beets separately so the red color wouldn't bleed onto the rest of the vegetables in the cooking process. I cooked the beets for 30 mins and the carrots and potatoes for 20.
I definitely recommend cutting up the veggies before cooking as other reviewers suggested.
Hi ladies! Thank you for the positive feedback and suggestions! The only reason why I don't chop or peel before hand is because I found the peels retain more of the vegetables flavor. I've done it both ways and just prefer doing it the longer way. I do add salt and a lil more mayo than posted on here. Also a lil salt goes a long way here!! Sorry for forgetting that one important ingredient!!
I was not a beet fun now I use this recipie regularly and really enjoy this salad!
Great colorful presentation. Okay flavor somewhat lacking. I encourage anybody making this dish to add their own pizazz to it.
