I have been making another version of this for years! Mine is simply boiled fresh beets, peeled and cubed - then mixed with the best plain yogurt. It is a very refreshing summer salad served chilled. Never thought of it as weird looking though, because it is the most extraordinary shade of fushia pink to ever be set on a table! Can't wait to try yours.
