A staple on any Scandinavian smörgåsbord, this salad can be enjoyed on its own or with meatballs. Scandinavian pickled beetroot tends to be sweeter than British, so make sure you buy a sweet variety or add a little icing sugar to balance any sharpness.
Serves: 4
300g pickled sweet baby beetroot, drained
½(half) granny smith or other sharp green apple, peeled
50g mayonnaise
50g crème fraîche
squeeze lemon juice
dash balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp chopped chives
1. Cut the beetroot and apple into 1cm pieces, then mix both in a bowl with the mayonnaise and crème fraîche. You are looking for a good creamy consistency and a medium-pink colour. Season and add more mayo and crème fraîche to taste. Chill for 2-3 hours (or overnight). Just before serving, stir in the lemon juice and balsamic vinegar, and scatter over the chives.
