Ingredients
-
1
medium red beet, peeled and shredded with a box grater
-
1
medium golden beet, peeled and shredded with a box grater
-
2
teaspoons shallot, minced
-
1
teaspoon Ume plum vinegar (found in health food stores)
-
1
teaspoon cider vinegar
-
2
tablespoons buttermilk
-
1/4
cup plain yogurt (regular or fat-free) or low-fat sour cream
-
3
teaspoons prepared horseradish, or to taste
-
1
teaspoon dried dill weed
-
2
tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
-
1/4
cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
-
pinch of salt
Directions
- Bring a pot of water to the boil. Add in the red beets, bring to a simmer, and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain again– making sure to get as much water off the beets, using paper towels if needed.
- Place the shallot into a small bowl and pour in Ume and cider vinegars (this will mellow the shallot just a bit). Set aside. Measure the rest of the dressing ingredients into a separate bowl, large enough to hold the beets. Mix with a whisk. Add in the shallot vinegar mixture and whisk again. Add in both raw and cooked beets and toss in the dressing. Sprinkle with walnuts if desired.
