I've fond memories of my mother's salads but have few written recipes of hers. Relying on memory alone for ingredients and flavors, I've come fairly close to her pickled beet salad. Three ingredients - this recipe is way easy! Of course I might add and/or embellish with all kinds of ingredients and garnishes we use today, but for the first try at making it I wanted to remain true to my childhood memories. Use commercially canned pickled beets or make your own (under "Useful Links" below, see recipe for homemade Pickled Beets, with a sugar-free and salt-free option.) The recipe below makes a main dish luncheon salad for one person.
