Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the beets, potatoes, and carrots separately in salted water until fork-tender, about 35 minutes for the beets and 20 minutes for the others, then drain and cool completely.

  2. 2

    Peel all the cooked vegetables and cut them into neat 1/2-inch dice, keeping the beets in their own bowl so they do not stain everything prematurely.

  3. 3

    Combine the potatoes, carrots, apple, and pickles in a large bowl, then gently fold in the diced beets and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and let the flavors meld.

  4. 4

    Whip the sour cream with the vinegar and salt, then swirl in a tablespoon of the reserved beet liquid to tint the dressing a soft pink.

  5. 5

    Serve the salad cold with the pink dressing spooned over the top or offered alongside in a small bowl.
