Vibrantly colorful and bursting with Nordic charm, Rosolli Finnish Beetroot Salad is a traditional holiday favorite that combines earthy root vegetables with the tangy sweetness of pickled cucumber and a creamy vinegar dressing. Featuring tender cubes of cooked beetroot, carrot, and potato, this visually stunning salad offers a delightful mix of textures and flavors, enhanced by a hint of red onion and delicate seasoning. Perfect as a festive side dish or a refreshing chilled starter, Rosolli is as easy to prepare as it is beautiful to serve. Garnished with fragrant fresh dill, this Finnish classic delivers a healthy, flavorful experience rooted in Scandinavian tradition.
Cook the beetroot, carrots, and potatoes in separate pots of boiling water until tender. This will take about 20-30 minutes depending on their size. Let the vegetables cool, then peel and dice them into small, evenly sized cubes.
Dice the pickled cucumbers and finely chop the red onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced beetroot, carrot, potato, pickled cucumber, and red onion. Gently toss together to mix the ingredients evenly.
Season the mixture with salt and sugar, adjusting to taste.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and white vinegar to make the dressing. The vinegar will cause the cream to thicken slightly.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently fold to combine. Be careful not to mash the vegetables as you mix.
Transfer the Rosolli salad to a serving dish and garnish with fresh dill sprigs if desired.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or as part of a festive meal.
