Instructions

Step 1

Heat oven to 400°. Rub beets with 1 tbsp. of the canola oil. Bake on a baking sheet until tender, about 1 hour. When cool, peel and cut into small cubes.

Step 2

Cut potatoes into small cubes. Transfer to a pot; cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat; simmer until tender, 4-5 minutes. Drain; let cool.

Step 3

Bring another pot of salted water to a boil. Add carrots; cook until tender, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon; let cool.

Step 4

Add peas to water; cook for 30 seconds. Drain; let cool. In a large bowl, combine vinegar, dry mustard, and sugar. While whisking, drizzle in remaining 1⁄4 cup of oil. Mix in onions, beets, potatoes, carrots, peas, and salt and pepper to taste. Chill.
