Ingredients

To prepare this spicy beetroot horseradish appetizer, you will need:

• 1 medium beetroot (about 250 g);
• Juice of ½ lemon;
• 2 tbsp sour cream or plain unsweetened yogurt;
• 1 small horseradish root;
• 1 heaping tsp Adyghe salt;

How to make beetroot horseradish appetizer

Wash the beetroot thoroughly under running water. Boil until tender or wrap it in foil and roast in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes.

Allow the beetroot to cool, peel it, and grate it finely. Alternatively, cut it into pieces and blend until smooth. The mixture should have a thick, creamy consistency.

Peel and wash the horseradish root, then grate or blend it. To save time, you can substitute it with 100 g of prepared beetroot horseradish available in grocery stores. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon using a citrus juicer or by hand.

In a bowl, combine the grated beetroot, horseradish, lemon juice, Adyghe salt, and sour cream. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Refrigerate the mixture for 1–2 hours to allow the flavors to blend and develop.
