This beet salad works great as a side dish. It’s garlicky, creamy, sweet, a little crunchy, and a little salty. Enjoy this authentic Russian recipe that everyone in my family always makes.

Ingredients
- 5 medium beets, scrubbed
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 20 pitted prunes, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed
- salt to taste
Steps
- Place the beets into a saucepan and fill with just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat until tender enough to pierce with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain and rub off peels. Run under cold water until cool enough to handle, then grate using the largest setting. Place in a serving bowl.
- Stir the walnuts, prunes and garlic into the beets, then mix in the mayonnaise and season to taste with salt.
