Beet Salad with Apples

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

---

Wrap each beet in a piece of foil, sealing tight. Place all the beet

---

packages on a foil-lined baking dish. Bake for 1 - 1 1/4 hours. Leave

---

the beet packages on the baking dish, but carefully pull open a corner

---

of the foil package to let the steam escape. Let the beet packages sit

---

in this manner for 5-10 minutes. Carefully open the foil package more

---

fully. Let the beet packages sit in this manner for an additional 5-10

---

minutes or until the beets can be handled comfortably. Slide your

---

fingers over the surface of the beets and the skin of the beets will

---

peel off easily. Cut the beets into 1/4-inch julienne sticks.

---

Coarsely grate the apples and combine with the beet sticks. Add the

---

remaining ingredients and blend well. Taste and adjust seasoning with

---

salt and pepper. Serve cold.

---

Note: Faye Levy says that 2 tablespoons sour cream can replace 1/2 the

---

mayonnaise for meatless dinners
