There are many variations of the recipe available, and this is the Surinamese version I grew up with. Huzarensalade is usually served on special occasions, like birthday parties and weddings.

  • 250 gram steak cooked & diced

Instructions
 

  • Cut all ingredients in small pieces or cubes, including the potatoes unless you prefer mashed potatoes.
  • Mix the potatoes with steak, apples, pickles and onions with mayonnaise and ketchup.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, salt and pepper to taste.
  • The beets will give the salad a pinkish/purplish color which makes this salad so unusual. You can add some of the beet juice for more color.
  • Add some vinegar or mustard if desired, and a teaspoon of sugar to balance the flavors.
  • Place the lettuce leaves on a serving plate and pile the salad on.
  • Spread some mayo and ketchup over the salad, decorate with sliced eggs, tomatoes and finish off with parsley.
