Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Boil the beetroot, potato and carrot separately in their skins until tender; the beetroot takes about 45-60 minutes.
- Let them cool, peel, and cut into small, even cubes.
- Drizzle the beetroot with the oil and mix, so it doesn't colour the other ingredients.
- Add the potato, carrot, cucumber, sauerkraut and onion.
- Season with salt and pepper, and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Tips
- Mix the beetroot with the oil on its own first, as that stops it colouring the other vegetables.
- The vegetables should be completely cold, as warm vegetables wilt the pickles.
- Squeeze the sauerkraut out well, so the salad isn't watery.
- It's even better left to rest a little before serving.
