This winter salad is often served at Christmas time in Finland. It can be presented in a round dish, each vegetable/fruit forming a separate wedge, with the sauce served on the side, especially if it is prepared some time ahead.
When all its ingredients are mixed together with the sauce, it should be served promptly. In either case, the juice from the beets can be added the cream, to color it in a bright pink. This dish is traditionally decorated with wedges of hard boiled eggs and/or pickled herrings and/or chopped leek sprinkled on top.
