Entered for safe-keeping for ZWT. From RusslandJournal.de. A food processor will save time. I have added 3 ways to precook the beets, depending on your preference. I recommend wearing plastic gloves when handling the beets, as they will stain otherwise.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 1/4 lbs red beets, grated (1 kg)
3 1/2 ounces walnuts, chopped (100 g)

Wash the beets and trim the ends off before cooking.

First off I love red beets and was really excited to make this recipe. Instead of fresh beets I used canned and I used garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. The garlic went well with the beets and the walnuts added some nice texture. I'm sure this would go over well at a family picnic, thanks!

Kate, this is a super tasty salad, which both my sis and me very much enjoyed for lunch. The garlic goes so well with the slight sweetness of the beets and the dressing really sets them off. I used sunflower seeds in my salad as I cant have nuts and they gave a nice crunch, which I liked a lot. I imagine walnuts to give the salad a stronger flavour, but I liked it as is, too. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely recipe with us. As I luv beets this will from now on be part of my beet routine.
