What are Pro Tips and Tricks for making Beet Salad Recipe?
Making this beet potato salad is fairly simple. However, if you have never worked with beets before then there are a few things one should keep in mind before making this holiday beet potato salad.
-
Always use cool beets when preparing salads, this way it would be easier to toss the salad with the dressings. Also, it would stay fresh longer.
-
If stored covered in an air-tight container, this salad will stay fresh for a couple of days in the fridge.
-
You can make this salad a day before you are planning to serve it. This way it would absorb the flavors, and it tastes more delicious and creamier.
-
Don’t peel beets before roasting and cooling. Once the beet is roasted and cooled, it would be easier to peel them. The skin would slide off without any efforts.
-
For a hearty variation, you can also add some boiled chickpeas or cooked quinoa to the salad.
