Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 1 ½ kg beetroot
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • Salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Cook the beets in salted water like you would jacket potatoes (you can also add some caraway seeds to the cooking water if you like). Once the beets are cooked, let them cool. Peel and finely grate them. Mix about 1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise (depending on the size of the spoon) into this mixture and season with salt. Let it sit in the refrigerator for a while. Serve straight from the refrigerator. I adopted this recipe from our Ukrainian au pair, and the whole family now loves it with meat and potato dishes.
