Ingredients

4 Waxy Potatoes

2 Carrots

3 Raw Beetroot

1 tsp Sunflower Oil

1 Red Onion, finely chopped

400g tin Red Kidney Beans, drained

300g Pickled Cucumbers, chopped (we used Moryn pickled gherkins)

50ml White Wine Vinegar

1 tsp Dijon Mustard

5 tbsp Vegetable Oil

Method

1
Put the potatoes, carrots and beetroot in a saucepan – skins still on – cover with water and simmer. Cook on medium heat covered with a lid until the vegetables are tender, about 20 mins.
2
Once the vegetables are cooked, immerse them in a bowl of cold water for 2 mins until cool enough to handle, then peel. Dice all into roughly equal small chunks, then transfer to a bowl.
3
Heat 1 tsp oil in a small frying pan over medium heat, add the onion and cook until just softened, about 1 min. Add this to the cooked vegetables with the kidney beans and gherkins.
4
For the dressing, put the vinegar and mustard in a bowl. Slowly add the oil, whisking constantly until smooth and thick. Season with salt and a little pepper. Dress the salad with the sauce, mix well and chill for at least 2 hrs before serving.

Cook’s tip: Making this salad in advance allows the flavours to improve even more.
