This pink-hued red beet salad made with cilantro and carrots is delicious and a great alternative to potato salad!

Red Beet Salad

Red beets, cilantro, carrots, onion and mayonnaise, a perfect side dish at your next BBQ that goes great with chicken, fish or steak. If you haven’t tried beets yet, I promise you this is delicious. This was the recipe that got me to love beets. Similar to a potato salad without all the points. Hubby liked it too to his surprise, even had seconds!

A friend of mine makes a similar salad to this only she adds chopped hot dogs. Sounds strange, I know but it’s actually really good!
