Red Salad

If you love beets, (which I didn’t till I tried this) you’ll love this! My Peruvian mother-in-law taught me how to make this extraordinary recipe! It goes great with fried chicken, but I usually make it when I make my Puerto Rican arroz con pollo. My husband refuses to eat chicken if I don’t include this salad.
