Salt And Freshly Ground -Black Pepper; To Taste * Beet should be
washed and dried. If you are using a fresh beet, preheat the oven
to 375 Degrees F. Wrap the beet in aluminum foil and bake until
tender, about 1 1/4 hours. When the beet is cool enough to handle,
peel it and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in
lightly salted boiling water for 10 minutes. Add the carrots and
cook until the vegetables are tender, but not mushy, about 10
minutes more. Let cool until easy to handle, then cut the
vegetables into 1/2-inch dice. In a large salad bowl, combine the
potatoes, carrots, onion, pickles, peas, beet, scallions, and dill.
Season with salt and pepper and toss gently, taking care not to
crush the vegetables. In a small bowl, whisk the dry mustard, sugar
and vinegar together. Whisk in the oil and season with salt and
pepper. Toss the salad with the dressing and tasting to correct the
seasoning. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before
serving. Makes 4 generous servings.
