My thoughts:
I dearest beet salads. I know or in addition to then people are beet-phobic only I don't know why! Beets are sugariness only non overly so, they are adept for you lot in addition to they dye everything they deport upon pink. Win-win-win, inwards my book. I peculiarly similar beet salad in addition to it seems similar nigh every European cuisine I inquiry has or in addition to then version of a beet salad. You mightiness recall the Polish beet salad I made this twelvemonth for Thanksgiving.

While I was at Lucia Fest at the American Swedish Historical Museum inwards Philadelphia concluding year, I had these beet salad in addition to inside the week, I recreated it at home. The hugger-mugger component is the horseradish. It is olfactory organ clearing in addition to adds quite a boot to a salad that otherwise could live on sweet. I've seen versions that telephone telephone for mustard instead of horseradish (if you lot create that, trammel for the good, Swedish stuff) only the version I had definitely had horseradish. The apple tree furnish a welcome in addition to or in addition to then times unexpected (it is hard to say the beet from the apple tree nether the dressing) crunch. The perfect light(ish) side dish for the holidays in addition to a fixture on the julbord.

One fun note: I've seen pictures of this salad on open-faced leftover meatball sandwiches (köttbullar smörgås). Yum!
