Pickled Beet Salad

Filed Under: Cooking with canning, Salads Tagged With: Beets

Beet-Salad-TN

This pickled beet salad is sweet, sour and creamy all at the same time, with the light aroma and taste of dill weed.

It’s delicious with a summer meal of hamburgers or hot dogs, but also welcome in the fall with grilled pork.

You could also make this with plain beets, depending on what you have to hand and what direction you want the taste to go in.

Best made several hours (or a day) ahead to chill and to allow the flavours to marry.

This recipe works well with either home-canned pickled beets, or home-canned plain beets. With the plain beets, it will just have less tang.

(To be clear, this is a “cooking with canning you have already done” recipe. This is not a recipe for canning.)

Notes

Instead of fat-free sour cream, you can also use fat-free plain yoghurt. Both are good. Of course, if you don't care about calories, you can use low-fat or full-fat!
You can add more sour cream if you want, but really, the 2 tablespoons does do the job nicely. You might be surprised.
To cut this recipe in half, use a ½ litre jar (pint) of beets, and 1 tablespoon of sour cream.

What's New in Home Canning

Quote of the day

“THE preservation of fruits and vegetables by canning is now an exact and known science. Our grandmothers, and even our mothers, were content to lose entirely many quarts of fruit each year; and they were never surprised to find a layer of mold on top of each jar. Science has made wonderful advances, however, and in these days any woman can preserve fruit and vegetables without the loss of a single jar or a trace of mold.”
