SIMPLE BEET SALAD (ENSALADA RUSSA)
This is a fairly typical Costa Rican recipe for beet salad using the holy trinity of Costa Rican cooking: Onions, cilantro, and sweet red pepper. Please don't use anything other than fresh beets, it just wont compare.

Steps:
- Boil the beets with their skins on so they do not lose their color.
- When they are soft enough to easily pierce with a fork, let them cool in a tub of cold water until they are cold enough to peel. The skin will come off easily if you rub it gently with your fingers.
- Dice the beets into small squares.
- Add diced onion, cilantro, and sweet pepper.
- Add mayonnaise and gently mix thoroughly.
- Don't forget to add lots of salt if you'd like (I LOVE SALT).

Steps:
- Place the beets into a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and boil gently until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the boiling water and let cool. Peel and dice the beets, and chill.
- Place the potatoes into a separate saucepan, add water to cover, and stir in salt. Boil the potato cubes until tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander set in the sink, and chill.
- Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and stir in 1 to 2 more teaspoons of salt. Very gently lower the eggs into the boiling water, making sure they don't hit the bottom of the pan and crack; simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the eggs to a bowl filled with ice and ice water, and let the eggs chill until thoroughly cold. Peel and dice the eggs.
- Mix the chilled beets, potato cubes, and eggs together in a salad bowl, and gently stir in mayonnaise to taste.

ENSALADA RUSSA - SUMMER SALAD
This recipe has been in my family forever who originated in the West Coast of Spain. It is a summer favorite at our summer BBQs. I always make this year round and think it's good all year round. It is also very tasting without the olives for those of you who do not like olives. I do agree that the preparation time is long but worth it.

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and wash them. Boil the potatoes and eggs in the same pot if you want or in separate pots. The potatoes will be done once you stick a fork in them and they break apart easily. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Boil the green sweet peas in a pot. Drain and set aside.
- In the meantime, while the potatoes are cooking, slice the olives in four pieces.(in half and then in half again.) set aside.
- Peel the shell off of the eggs as soon as they are done cooking. (caution they will be hot) I find that it is easier to remove the egg shell under cold running water. Put one egg aside and Cut the remaining eggs into very small pieces.
- Check to see if potatoes are cool enough. If they are you will need a mixing bowl. Put the potatoes in the bowl and mash them with masher (do not use a mixer) Mash the potatoes until there are a few lumps.
- Add the tuna, eggs, peas, and olives. Mix all these ingredients thoroughly together using an"Under and Over" motion so all ingredients are mixed well.
- Add the mayonnaise a little at a time. I usually only need to use 2 tbsp of it. Mix in the mayonnaise until blended together. You don't want too much mayonnaise in this salad.
- Once all ingredients have been mixed transfer mix to a serving salad dish of your choice.
- You can decorate the top of the salad with the 1 egg you set aside earlier cut into four length wise pieces and the 1 slice of pimento sliced into 4 thin pieces.( this is optional)
- Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight and serve at your favorite BBQ gathering.
