This is really a Fabulous Condiment. Great with Ham, Hard Boiled Eggs, and other Ukrainian dishes like Headcheese.Hoowever i think it bettter to grate the Beets rather than blend them to a mush.Great foods also have some texture as well as apperance and of course taste.A grated beet relish is more satisfying than a soupy mess.
