Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add beet, potatoes and carrots. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until vegetables are tender when poked with a knife. (see Note 1 for vegetables cooking time)
- At the same time, heat olive oil in a large saute pan and over medium heat. Add onions and cook stirring occasionally until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer onions to a bowl.
- When vegetables are tender, carefully remove them from water and place in a bowl with cold water. This will allow them to cool faster. Once they are cool to handle, peel and cut the vegetables along with dill pickles into small cubes.
- In a large bowl combine cut vegetables (see Note 2), green onion, green peas, sautéed onion, salt and pepper. Give everything a stir and enjoy!
Notes
- Note 1
- Beet will be tender in about 60 to 90 minutes.
- Potatoes - 25-30 minutes.
- Carrots - 15-20 minutes.
- It's important not to overcook the potatoes as they will be mushy and might fall apart during dicing.
- Note 2
- Since beet tends to color all vegetables in intense ruby color, I usually mix all the ingredients before I add beet. Beet goes in last and I mix again. It's not necessary just a personal preference:)
