Beetroot quench and peel. Let cool and cut into thick sticks. Mix sour cream, mayonnaise, milk and 2-3 tablespoons cucumber water, season to taste
Wash the dill and cut finely, except for a little garnish. Stir into the sauce. Mix all salad ingredients with the sauce and arrange on plates. Garnish with the remaining dill. Goes well with pumpernickel
