Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Beets
• 2 medium-sized Carrots
• 2 medium-sized Potatoes
• 2 small Pickles
• 1 cup Green peas (cooked or canned)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets thoroughly, wrap them in aluminum foil, and place them in the oven to roast for 40 minutes or until tender.

Step 2

Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots into evenly sized cubes. Add them to the boiling water and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and allow them to cool completely.

Step 3

Once the beets are tender and have cooled, peel and dice them into cubes similar in size to the potatoes and carrots.

Step 4

Finely dice the pickles into small pieces.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced beets, potatoes, carrots, pickles, and green peas.

Step 6

Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the bowl.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss to combine. Be careful not to mash the vegetables as you mix.

Step 9

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 10

Serve as a side dish or a light main course. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
