Finnish Beet Salad by Julesong
This salad is made in Finland in two ways: either with herring (rosolli) or
without (punajuurisalaatti). It's my favorite beet salad, and although I've
never made it including the herring I'm sure it would be tasty that way, too!
Based on a recipe from "The Finnish Cookbook" by Beatrice A. Ojakangas.
2 medium potatoes , cooked,peeled,and diced (I prefer white or large new
potatoes, which have a less grainy texture)
2 tart apples , peeled and diced
2 carrots , peeled,cooked,and diced
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
2 medium dill pickles , diced or grated
3/4 cup diced pickled herring (optional) or salted herring (optional)
or minced sardines (optional) or anchovies (optional)
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
2 cups cooked beets , peeled and diced
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons beet juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash sugar
crumbled bacon (optional)
1. Combine the potatoes, apples, carrots, onion, pickles, white pepper, and
herring (if you're using it).
2. Mix together the sour cream with the lemon juice, beet juice, salt, and
sugar until well blended to make the sour cream dressing.
3. Traditionally (and this is how you would want to make it for a dinner
party), just before serving you would carefully add the beets- because if the
beets are added too long before serving, the salad will turn a deep pink,
whereas some people prefer it tinted only mildly pink; then you would turn into
a salad bowl lined with crisp lettuce and serve chilled with the sour cream
dressing mixture on the side.
4. However, I make the salad for picnics and potlucks and so I mix it all
together, put it in the serving container, put crumbled bacon over the top, and
let it chill for at least an hour before I let anybody at it; it comes out
nicely bright pink, which I find attractive and kids like.
5. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Less than a month until my birthday. "Shop early, shop often, shop

gin and good chocolate? I can never remember. . . .
