Author Notes

This salad is full of texture and flavors: creamy, tangy, sweet, crunchy. It's refreshing on a summer afternoon and a hearty appetizer on a winter night. I love the addition of horseradish - beets and horseradish are perfect partners. This is my own recipe, one that I've made several times. You could purchase already-cooked beets and skip the step of cooking them. —adelaide
