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
