• Then add the chopped vegetables and fruit to the horseradish and sour cream mixture.
• Put into an attractive serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped dill.
• Serve with the Smorgasbord, or with cold cuts, quiches and pickled fish. Also wonderful to take on a picnic.

SWEDISH PICKLED BEET AND APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
• Add the onion and apples and saute for three to five minutes, until apples have softened.
• Transfer to a medium bowl and sprinkle with the lemon juice.
• Add the beets and capers and toss well.
• Mix the mayo and sour cream together, then add to the salad, tossing gently to coat.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer to serving bowl or individual plates and garnish with the parsley and chives.
• Note: Use a glass or stainless bowl because the beets will stain plastic and some ceramics.
• Note 2: You can also do this with baby beets if you're lucky enough to find them at a farmer's market--increase the number of beets relative to their size.
