Sour Cream Beet Salad Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Start by boiling the beets until they are tender. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the beets.

• STEP 3.In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, lemon juice, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• STEP 4.Add the sliced beets to the bowl with the dressing and gently toss to coat the beets evenly. Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
• STEP 5.Serve the Sour Cream Beet Salad chilled, garnished with additional herbs if desired. This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
