Scandinavian beet salad
4 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | larges | Beets, boiled |
| 1 | teaspoon | Caraway seeds |
| 6 | tablespoons | Boiling water |
| 1½ | tablespoon | Vinegar |
| 2 | teaspoons | Sugar |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
Directions
The beets need to be prepared 8 hours before serving so that they have time to absorb the flavours of the dressing. Use freshly boiled beets & slice them thinly into a bowl. Crush the caraway seeds & pour the water over the top. Leave them to sit until the water has become cold. Strain. Mix the strained liquid with the vinegar, sugar & salt.
Pour over the sliced beets. Leave to stand for 8 hours. Before serving, sprinkle with caraway seeds if desired.
