Ingredients

2 medium beets or 1 16-ounce can beets

3 medium boiling potatoes

2 medium carrots

3 small dill pickles, diced

1/2 cup chopped scallions, white part only

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Cook beets, remove skins, and cut into ½-inch dice. Peel potatoes and carrots and cook until each vegetable is tender but not mushy (about 20 minutes for potatoes and 10 minutes for carrots). When cool, cut into ½-inch dice. In a large bowl combine beets, potatoes, carrots, pickles, scallions, and dill. Toss vegetables gently, season with salt and pepper, and add hard-boiled eggs. Cover and refrigerate to chill thoroughly before serving.

For dressing: Combine yogurt, mayonnaise, horseradish, lemon juice, and sugar in a blender, and mix until smooth. Season to taste with pepper. Pour dressing over the vegetables and chill until served.
