Madonna1, if you use the message board on the left of your screen you will find a number of threads on beetroot salads. There are some really great recipes in there. Just choose Anytime as the date posted option.

Hey madonna, I think the recipe you are looking for is a Rarotongan Potato Salad also called ( mai-naise)sp It has a lovely chowchow fresh mayonaise dressing.You can also get it at most wekend markets,Otara Markets sell it,usually by the island doughnuts.If you have weekend markets in your area check out the island food stalls. Otherwise a basic recipe would be cooked,potato,boiled eggs,tin beetroot and bind together with fresh mayo with a few dollops of chowchow pickle,mix all together,seasonmound on platter,cover with layer of the mayo and sprinkle,chopped egg,pea's and chopped beetroot on top and chill before serving,goodluck.

Beetroot Jelly Salad.One can of diced beetroot, one packet of boysenberry jelly.Drain Beetroot into bowl.Empty jelly packet into a bowl and pour over 3/4 cup hot water to dissolve.Add 3 tblspns of wine vinegar (I only have red wine so use this but I think any vinegar would be ok) mix together and pour over the beetroot.Put in fridge to set.So yummy.We just about have to fight our kids to get any.Make it at lunch time and its set by dinner.
