Red Salad

eLi
"If you love beets, (which I didn't till I tried this) you'll love this! My Peruvian mother-in-law taught me how to make this extraordinary recipe! It goes great with fried chicken, but I usually make it when I make my Puerto Rican arroz con pollo. My husband refuses to eat chicken if I don't include this salad."

Great, colorful presentation. Okay flavor, somewhat lacking. I encourage anybody making this dish to add their own pizazz to it.

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...

This was fantastic! I've made it a few times & love adding chopped hard boiled egg & celery.

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 cooki...

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 definite...

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...
