Tips

Why it works
Grate the beet coarsely so it doesn't release juice and the salad doesn't turn watery. Slice the prunes thinly so they soften and soak up the mayonnaise evenly.
Substitutions
Use dried apricots instead of prunes, 30 g, but soak them in hot water for 10 minutes. Use pine nuts instead of walnuts, 20 g, and toast them lightly in a dry pan.
Common mistakes
If the salad tastes bitter or the garlic burns your mouth, you left it too long while chilling. Check after 5 minutes, not 10.
Storing and reheating
Keep in the fridge for 3 days with a lid on. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir afterwards.
Serve with
Serve with a rye bread and Gouda sandwich for a balanced snack.
