#35: Salad that can't be BEET

Whether you call it punajuurisalaatti, rosolje, or just plain beet salad, this is really fantastic stuff! A friend in California mentioned a beet gardening project and I saw the person who first introduced me to Finnish salad (aka punajuurisalaati) and I just got the craving. Tonight, I boiled up some potatoes, carrots, and beets... added some pickles and Granny Smith apples... mixed it with sour cream... My kitchen is covered in a red residue, but yum, yum, yum. It's worth it.

Ahhh, the memories! Estonian salads are just awesome! And rosolje with some dark, malty bread is just perfect. Thanks for reminding me that I still need to try prepare it myself. :-)

There is also a lyrical component to the salad as it's colors always reminds me of the red weed in War of the Worlds. 8-)

Cheers, Chris
