Instructions

Prep
  • Preparation time: 45 minutes
  1. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, carrots, turnips, green beans, peas and celery. Add pickles and capers.
  2. Add mayonnaise and salt and pepper to taste. Mix together carefully.
  3. Arrange mixture on a plate in a dome or a circle. Place beets on top of salad.
Dice all the vegetables to the size of small green peas. For the best results, after cooking the vegetables, drain, then run under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool the vegetables quickly, then drain again. Of course, you can also use leftover cooked vegetables from another meal. Do not mix the beets with the rest of the salad, as they will change its color.
