Russian Beet Salad (with Garlic)
Description
Russian Beet Salad (with Garlic) features large boiled beets peeled and grated along with peeled garlic cloves. They are combined with mayonnaise and salt, creating a creamy salad with an earthy sweetness from the beets complemented by the pungent kick of fresh garlic. The use of mayonnaise binds the ingredients, offering a smooth texture.
The salad is served cold and can be a refreshing side, especially during colder months, as it provides both savory and sweet notes. The preparation requires boiling the beets until tender, then grating before mixing to ensure a cohesive and textured salad with small but noticeable bits of garlic throughout.
Ingredients
- 3 beets large
- 8 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise adjust to taste
- 1/2 tbsp salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, boil beets for about 40 minutes, or until you can easily pierce them with a fork. Set them aside to cool at room temperature. Peel the skins from the beets and garlic cloves.
- Using a cheese grater, grate the beets and garlic into small pieces.
- Add salt and mayonnaise to the beets and stir until well-combined.
- Serve and enjoy!
