• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
• 250 ml heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

Step 1

Wash the beetroot, carrots, and potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt.

Step 2

Place the beetroot in a pot, cover with water, and boil for 35-40 minutes or until tender. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely before peeling.

Step 3

In separate pots, boil the carrots and potatoes for 12-15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool before peeling.

Step 4

Peel and dice the cooked beetroot, carrots, and potatoes into small, uniform cubes (about 1 cm). Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Finely chop the red onion and pickles, then add them to the bowl with the diced vegetables.

Step 6

Season the vegetable mixture with salt and white pepper. Toss gently to combine, taking care not to mash the ingredients.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream lightly until slightly thickened (do not overwhip). Stir in the vinegar and sugar.

Step 8

Before serving, pour the cream dressing over the vegetable mixture or serve it on the side for guests to add as desired.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish the salad with some extra chopped pickles or a sprinkle of fresh dill for a decorative touch.

Step 10

Serve the Rosolli Salad chilled as a side dish and enjoy a taste of Finnish tradition.
