Beetroot Salad with Cream
Beetroot Salad with Cream.
Cook and slice the beetroot and mix with the slices some very finely-minced onion. Make the following dressing and pour it over. Mix well together made mustard, salt, pepper and a few drops of lemon juice. Now add, gradually stirring all the time, as much cream as is necessary to obtain the desired flavour. The palate also dictates the amount of mustard required.
