Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized beetroot
- 2 medium-sized carrots
- 3 medium-sized potatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 3 medium-sized pickles
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
Wash the beetroot, carrots, and potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt.
Place the beetroot in a pot, cover with water, and boil for 35-40 minutes or until tender. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely before peeling.
In separate pots, boil the carrots and potatoes for 12-15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool before peeling.
Peel and dice the cooked beetroot, carrots, and potatoes into small, uniform cubes (about 1 cm). Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and pickles, then add them to the bowl with the diced vegetables.
Season the vegetable mixture with salt and white pepper. Toss gently to combine, taking care not to mash the ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream lightly until slightly thickened (do not overwhip). Stir in the vinegar and sugar.
Before serving, pour the cream dressing over the vegetable mixture or serve it on the side for guests to add as desired.
Optional: Garnish the salad with some extra chopped pickles or a sprinkle of fresh dill for a decorative touch.
Serve the Rosolli Salad chilled as a side dish and enjoy a taste of Finnish tradition.
