A salad featuring brightly colored citrus and beets is perfect for winter. The standout is the lemon dressing, enhanced with horseradish for a distinctive refreshing spiciness.
Dill and horseradish were staples in Fiona's fridge, likely because she often had horseradish left over from her special roast beef.
Fiona was resourceful, never wanting to waste food, and always sought to innovate with leftovers. Thus, the dressing, crafted from surplus horseradish, gains a unique spiciness that complements the sweet freshness of citrus and beets beautifully.
