Instructions
Cook the beets in a large saucepan with plenty of water until they are very soft (45-60 minutes).
When the beets have cooled enough, pull off the peel (using disposable gloves) and grate the beets.
Combine the grated beets with mayonnaise, sour cream, nuts, garlic, parsley and salt & pepper to taste.
Garnish salad with nuts and parsley. Chill for at least 1 hour for flavors to meld together.
