-
2 pounds potatoes of similar size, peeled (4 medium)
-
1 ¾ pounds red beets of similar size, scrubbed (4 medium)
-
½ cups – 1½ cups of ¼-inch-diced dill pickles or bread and butter pickles
-
1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
-
½ cup finely minced red onion
-
½ cup mayonnaise
-
½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt
-
1 tablespoon hot English mustard
-
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
-
2 teaspoons salt, divided
-
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
3 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled and sliced, optional garnish
-
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves, optional garnish

-
Remove greens from beets and rinse. Place in a pot of water.
While beets are still cooking prepare eggs (can be done several days ahead).
Place eggs in a steamer pot. Bring water to a boil. Cover. Steam for 12 minutes.
(You can boil them uncovered if you don’t have a steamer).
Remove from pot. Cool under cold water. Peel. Set aside until ready to serve.
Dice beets (1/2 inch cubes), apple (1/4 inch cubes), onion, and pickles (1/8-1/4 inch cubes).
Chop parsley.
In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, horseradish, 1 teaspoon of salt, and pepper. -
Bring to a boil. Simmer for approximately 1 hour, until they are tender when
-
you stick a knife in.
-
Drain, rinse in cool water. When cool enough to handle peel skin off by lighly
-
squeezing them in your hands (skin will pop off). I tend to peel them in a pot
-
of cold water.
-
While beets are cooking…
-
Peel potatoes. Dice into 1/2 inch cubes.
-
Place potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water so water is a few inches above potatoes.
-
Add 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil. Simmer until tender (about 10 minutes).
-
Test by poking with a fork. When done, drain and set aside to cool.
-
Add all of the chopped ingredients to a large bowl.
-
Add the mayonnaise dressing. Mix well (but gently so potatoes don’t turn to mush).
-
Chill for at least an hour.
-
Garnish with hard boiled eggs (cut in half) and parsley.
-
Serve with extra sauce on the side.
