Place the beets, carrots, and potatoes in separate pots filled with water. Bring each to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until tender (about 30-40 minutes for beets, 20-25 minutes for carrots and potatoes). Drain, let cool, and peel the skins.
While the vegetables cool, finely dice the dill pickles and red onion. Set aside.
Once the beets, carrots, and potatoes are cool enough to handle, dice them into small, even cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the diced dill pickles, red onion, and canned peas to the bowl with the cubed vegetables. Mix gently to avoid mashing the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sunflower oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, garnish with chopped fresh dill, if using. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
