Potato Beet Salad

So, one picture flipped, and the other didnt?! Strange. The fried mess is fried crappie my boys caught. My husband wanted me to take a photo of it...
The beet salad is a pretty fuschia color, but it just looks like a mess, here.



This is adapted from the Moosewood Low Fat Cookbook. Here's my version:




Potato Beet Salad




2 cans sliced or cubed beets
5 potatoes, peeled and cubed
½ c. minced red onions or scallions
1c. nonfat yogurt
¼ c. chopped fresh dill
2 tsp cider vinegar
2 small dill pickles, chopped
2 tsp prepared horseradish (optional)
1 tsp sugar Salt and pepper to taste.



(IF using fresh beets, in covered pot, boil beets until tender, 40 – 60 minutes.) In a separate pot, boil the potatoes in lightly salted water for about 20 minutes, until soft. Drain potatoes and set aside to cool. (When the beets are easily pierced with a sharp knife, drain them and plunge them in cold water. When they have cooled, peel and chop them into bite-sized pieces.) In a serving bowl, mix everything together. Salt & pepper to taste, chill 30 minutes.

  1. Julie, this says it was adapted. How does it differ from the original recipe? Jeff and I are beet lovers:-)

  2. Mostly, the original had fresh beets you needed to boil and peel. I have that part, of the recipe, in there.
