At first people may have to be convinced to take a bite because It looks so weird, looking purple and all that, but once they have tasted this salad they are lost :-)

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.
