Oh, you three are so encouraging. Thank you. I must add, judge the amount to add to the cream cheese, though. A packet of cream cheese only requires a cup or so of salad to make a nice dip, maybe even less.
I wouldn't serve up beetrooty things three meals in a row to others in the family, but I might have a beetroot salad leftover-type bortsch for my own lunch with nobody looking on though.
I do lurve beetroot salad, but I tend to forget how much it makes. Must halve the recipe when making it just for two!!
