Yield: 8 Servings    VG, VN, WF, GF, DF, SoF, EF

2 c Fresh beets; chopped
4 c New or Yukon Gold potatoes;
-- chopped
1/4 c Rice vinegar or red wine
-- vinegar
1/4 c Canola oil
1 tb Dijon mustard
1/4 c Fresh dill; chopped
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
1 1/2 c Kidney beans; cooked or
-- canned (drained & rinsed)
1 c Celery; diced
1 bn Scallions; chopped

Place beets in saucepan with boiling water to cover. Boil until easily pierced with a fork but still firm, about 20 minutes. Drain; cool under cold running water.

In another saucepan, place potatoes in boiling water to cover. Cook for about 15 minutes, until easily pierced with a fork. Drain; cool under cold running water.

In large bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, mustard, dill, salt and pepper. Add beets, potatoes, beans, celery and scallions. Toss thoroughly.

"A very nice side dish. Tasty and richly colourful. My only problem is that the red from the beets bled into both the potatoes and the celery, making them only slightly unappetizing. My suggestion to limit the effects of this bleeding is to serve the salad immediately and avoid storing it for any length of time."
