Beet & Onion Salad with Horseradish Dressing

Beet & Onion Salad with Horseradish Dressing: Submitted by: Vickie | Date Added: 12 Oct 2015 Ingredients:

For the dressing:
2 T sour cream
2 t prepared horseradish
1.5 t white wine vinegar
1/2 t sugar
3 T canola or evoo
1-2 t water, as needed

For the salad:
1/2 lb fresh beets (I use canned drained Harvard beets, sliced!)
1/4 t salt (to season the beets)

4 c torn butter lettuce (or greens of your choice)
1/2 small vidalia (or any other sweet onion), sliced
1 T fresh dill, chopped

Cooking Instructions:

Whisk together the first 4 dressing ingredients. Whisk in oil. Whisk in 1-2 t of water to make a drizzling consistency.

If using fresh beets, place beets on a large piece of aluminum foil, skin on. Season with salt. Wrap tightly and roast about 45 minutes. Once cooled, ship off skins and slice thinly.

Layer lettuce, beets and onion on a large serving plate. Drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with dill.

(Cook's note: I love beets....period...so I don't care if they are fresh, canned or pickled! Fortunately, my husband does too!)
