Prep Time: 15 minutes

I wish I could take credit for this salad, but it is a recipe that I have added to my repertoire thanks to my departed father-in law, it is a recipe that he acquired from a restaurant that has long since gone out of business. My wife's family always had this salad when they grilled steaks and was always served with cornbread cakes in which they would take a cornbread mix and slightly thin it in order to make griddlecakes. The cornbread cakes are a must because they are great to soak up the juices from the salad. This salad is like a beet slaw, now don't let this discourage you, beets are by far my least favorite vegetable, but I love this salad and when you try it your going to love it too, I guarantee it!

Recipe:

2 tbsp finely chopped green onions
1 can (15oz) sliced beets (keep juice)
add equal amount of diced tomato's to beets
add chopped Iceberg lettuce equal to tomato's and beets combined

Dressing:

3 slices of beets
2 tbsp beet juice
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
½ tsp. dry mustard
1 tbsp. White vinegar
1 tsp. A-1 sauce
2 tsp. sugar

Method:

In a blender puree dressing until smooth, pour dressing over salad ingredients and toss well, refrigerate for approximately 1 hour, serve with cornbread griddlecakes and enjoy.

PS, don't tell my wife!
