Oh, I know that lurid pink. The first time I was served the cold borscht at Veselka I laughed out loud.

Ooo, I love beets, I actually hesitate posting their recipes on the blog for fear I might have too many beet recipes featured and somehow get a weird beet reputation.
But I digress, while horseradish is something which has seldom (ever?) entered my kitchen, I can see how it would pair nicely with beets. Do you use fresh or the bottled prepared stuff?
And fried capers, I'm sold.

Haha, beet irony :). Beets and horseradish are so delicious together. This sounds great!

I needed more beet ideas -- thanks for this. And congrats on your nomination!!

The best writing nomination is well deserved. Congratulations.

The beets I can't be so certain about.

thanks for a beet recipe! i also got tons of beets from my csa and was at a loss as to what to do with them (having never really even eaten them!) any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Congratulations on the well deserved nomination!!!
I voted for you the minute I saw it.

Congratulations on the nomination. You deserve it! You've got my vote!

You got my vote, but I don't know about the beet salad -- love the colors, but always skiddish around beets. Maybe it is worth a re-visit?

Good luck on the nomination!

You are the best writer out there.

I LOVE BEETS! This sounds kin to what I had last night at Smiths: "roasted baby beets with Olive Oil, Balsamic, Creamy Horseradish and Walnut Powder"

And... Happy Birthday (early)

See? I was so impatient waiting for your recipe I had to go out and makeup my own! Now, lets talk about that pumpkin pie challenge...
Yay you for your FoodBlog awards nod! You absolutely deserve it.

Beets and horseradish sound terrific together. I usually do something sweet with beets, like roasting with honey, so it's nice to try a savory combination. My husband adores beets and would love your CSA if he could get them every week!

Congratulations on the nomination--you know you have my vote! And Happy Birthday tomorrow! (Facebook told me. Facebook tells all.)

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! you deserve it all - a wonderful year, the BEST wrtiting award and MORE. Enjoy every minute of the day and bask in the glory of being wonderful you
xx

You deserve it, Luisa! I frequently think of your beautiful post about driving out to the nature preserve on Long Island. And happy birthday, apparently! Have a wonderful day.

You've got my vote as well! Your writing always draws in surroundings and moods so easily that I really enjoy reading it.

Mercedes - I used the bottled kind. It keeps pretty well. There was a sort of hard, crunchy top layer when I opened it on Tuesday, but I just scooped that off and beneath it, the rest of the horseradish was totally fine and fresh. If you want other horseradish ideas, I really love mixing it with cold sour cream and serving it with roast beef. Absolutely scrummy.

Thank you everyone, for your congrats and your votes and your birthday wishes. I'm just bursting!

Congratulations on your nomination. It was a pleasure voting for The Wednesday Chef!

I usually don't like beet salad but this actually looks fantastic.

Thanks- I recently found out that Baltimore, where I grew up, is home to the first commercially prepared horseradish, and so I feel some weird sense of responsibility to go out and buy some.

Thank you for another yummy recipe, Luisa! We are proud to have it included in this week's FoodieView Recipe Roundup!
