- Put the cooked beetroot into a medium bowl with the rinsed capers and chopped fresh dill, then toss together well.
- Whisk the red wine vinegar, grated horseradish, sugar and extra-virgin olive oil with salt and pepper. Stir into the beetroot, mix gently with the chopped eggs, then set aside at room temperature for 1 hour if you wish.
- Spoon the beetroot salad onto a serving plate, then sprinkle with a few more capers and a little more chopped dill.
