Rainbow Radish Beet Potato Salad

Summer is sadly waning.  My beautiful final tribute is this Rainbow Radish Beet Potato Salad. This vibrant dish isn’t just a feast for the eyes but a delight for your taste buds. Perfect for the last of summer barbecues. Also, tuck this recipe away for next year’s gay pride event. This salad is as colorful as it is delicious.

Start with a medley of red, yellow, and purple potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender. It’s like a potato party in your pot! Meanwhile, grab some golden beets and an array of radish varieties. Their bright colors and unique shapes will make you smile.

For those who love a bit of crunch, raw beets and radishes are perfect. But if you prefer a softer texture, lay those beet and radish slices on a baking sheet. Spray them with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with coarse salt, and roast until tender. Either way, you’ve got a winner.

Once your potatoes are ready, slice them up and toss them in a large bowl with your beets and radishes. It’s a rainbow waiting to happen!

Give it a bath in homemade dressing:

Create a red wine dressing that’s tangy and sweet for this Rainbow Radish Beet Potato Salad. Mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, smashed garlic, and a touch of honey. Drizzle this liquid gold over your colorful creation and toss gently. Voilà! You’ve got a masterpiece.

Feel free to throw in some colorful tomatoes to amp up the vibrancy. The more color, the better! Although, it will make the title of this Rainbow Radish Beet Potato Salad recipe a bit longer

This salad isn’t just easy to make; it’s a conversation starter. It’s a celebration of late summer’s bounty from the farmer’s market. Plus, it’s so photogenic, that your friends will be snapping pics before they even take a bite.

So, the next time you’re hosting a barbecue or joining a pride event, bring out this Salad. It’s fun, fabulous, and fantastically delicious. Enjoy the colors, crunch, and compliments coming your way!
