I have a love affair with beetroot salad . It’s one of those condiments that I can not resist, especially if I happen to pas a hot dog stand late at night, incredibly hungry and craving a grilled hot dog with bread … and beetroot salad .

If you´re supposed to be really ambitious, you pickle the beets yourself and whisk a good mayonnaise by hand …. but it works equally well with beets and a good mayonnaise from a jar. Especially if you are in a hurry, as we all are at Christmas.

The beet root salad you can find in a store is quite ok I think, but this year I’ve made my own version and I believe it will work just fine for both the Christmas ham and meatballs .
( Probably also to accommodate the late night hot dog ….)
Here you are!
