My love affair with the beet is still in it’s honeymoon phase. I had never known, upon glancing at the pedestrian root vegetable that it could be so delicious. However, recently I came across a recipe for a beet salad that I knew I had to try. I modified the original recipe in a few minor ways. This recipe calls for pickles. I happened to have some homemade pickled peppers and some homemade pickled green beans, so I used these in the salad. Also, this recipe called for a can of peas; i used frozen. Overall, I was very glad to have made this salad and was even happy eating it for the fourth time, like four meals later.
