• Mix the mayo and sour cream together, then add to the salad, tossing gently to coat.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer to serving bowl or individual plates and garnish with the parsley and chives.

PICKLED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Cut off the leaves from the beets leaving 1 inch of stem attached. Do not trim the taproot. Scrub the beets to remove any dirt. Put them in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer until fork tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Drain.
• When cool enough to handle, trim, and peel the beets. Slice into rounds and toss in a medium bowl with the onion.
• In a small saucepan bring the sugar, vinegar, water, and salt to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt and immediately pour over the beets and onion. Refrigerate overnight before serving.
