Earthy beets, tender potatoes, and crisp pickles unite in this vibrant Russian salad, a celebration of simple yet satisfying flavors. A delightful twist on the classic potato salad, this version adds a touch of sweetness and color with the inclusion of beets and carrots.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap beets in foil and roast until tender, about 45 minutes.
While beets are roasting, boil potatoes and carrots in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. (20 minutes)
Once beets are cool enough to handle, peel and dice. Dice potatoes and carrots. (10 minutes)
In a large bowl, combine beets, potatoes, carrots, and diced pickles. (5 minutes)
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and champagne vinegar. Pour over the salad and toss gently to coat. (3 minutes)
Season with sea salt to taste. (2 minutes)
Sprinkle with green onions. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. (30 minutes)
