"This is a peasant salad that's served throughout Costa Rica and other Central American countries. Some of the best beets I've ever eaten were grown in Costa Rica - they're huge and very sweet! Serve this in any casado and you can bet this will be a hit! Note: some people add cooked diced carrots, peas, and/or minced red bell pepper. I prefer mine plain and simple! Although Yukon Gold potatoes are not Costa Rican, their potatoes are that same golden color on the inside, and they're a close match."
