Russian potato and beetroot salad

I make this Russian potato and beetroot salad for parties, picnics or whenever I have leftover boiled potatoes and cooked beetroot in the fridge. You can use any homemade or shop-bought cooked, roasted or pickled beetroot. This version is healthy and dairy-free as it has no mayo nor sour cream.
