Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the beets, potatoes, and carrots in separate pots of salted water and boil until fork-tender, roughly 45 minutes for the beets and 25 minutes for the potatoes and carrots, then cool completely.

  2. 2

    Peel all the cooled vegetables and cut them into uniform 1/4-inch dice so the salad has a consistent texture in every bite.

  3. 3

    Toss the diced beets first with 1 tablespoon of the sunflower oil in a separate bowl, which coats them and stops their color from bleeding into the rest of the salad.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, carrots, sauerkraut, diced pickles, and green peas, then fold in the oiled beets along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.

  5. 5

    Season with 1/2 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper, toss gently to coat, and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors meld.
