For the best flavor, use freshly cooked beets. You can roast them, boil them, or even buy them pre-cooked. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your beets and your preferred level of tanginess. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried dill. For a creamier salad, you can substitute some of the mayonnaise with sour cream or Greek yogurt. This salad is best served chilled. It can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
