Russian Vinaigrette Beet Salad

Ingredients

• 3 large beets
• 1 large potato
• 3 carrots, peeled and cut into fourths lengthwise
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 3 pickles, diced
• 10 marinated mushrooms, diced
• 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
• 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
• 1 (15 ounce) can green peas, drained
• 5 green onions, chopped
• 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, or more to taste

Directions

Place the beets and potato into a large saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and gently boil until the vegetables are tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain the beets and potato, and let cool completely. Remove peels when cool; cut into 1/4-inch dice.

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the carrots, recover, and steam until just tender, about 5 minutes depending on thickness. Remove from steamer, and let cool completely. Dice when cool.

Place the beets, potato, carrots, red onion, pickles, marinated mushrooms, garbanzo beans, black beans, corn, green peas, and green onions into a large salad bowl, and gently stir to combine. Drizzle in the vegetable oil, stir again, and garnish the salad with the fresh dill to serve.
