Russian Beet Salad With Walnuts And Garlic Recipes

RUSSIAN BEET SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND GARLIC

• In a large bowl combine grated beets with minced garlic, walnuts, salt/pepper, prunes, and vegan mayo.
• Mix.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve cold.

RUSSIAN BEET SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND PRUNES

Steps:

• To cook the beets, pre-heat the oven to 400F. Place the beets into a baking dish. Add about 1/2 inch of water. Cover the dish with aluminum foil making sure the foil doesn't touch the beets. Leave a small opening at one corner to allow the steam to escape. Place the baking dish into the oven and bake the beets for about 1.5 hour or until you can easily pierce them with a fork. Let the beets cool completely before peeling them and making the salad.
• To make the salad, slice the beets into small dice or you can also grate them.
• Place the beets into a salad bowl. Add the walnuts, prunes and sour cream. If you are making the garlicky version, add the garlic too. Season with salt and mix to combine.
• Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. This salad also tastes great the next day. Store in the fridge in a glass container with a tight lid for up to 48 hours.
