Beet Roll-Ups
Description
Suitable for both special occasions and everyday meals. To keep the edges of the appetizer rolls from coming apart, secure them along the length, not the width. Serve the dish chilled. If desired, you can make the rolls ahead of time and refrigerate them for 1 hour.

Step 2
Taste the briny cheese to gauge how much salt the filling needs. Grate the cheese into a deep bowl using a fine grater. Add mayonnaise of any fat content to the same bowl, and crumble the walnut kernels in your hands. Add salt and ground black pepper, and mix the filling. You can also add a pressed garlic clove or chopped dill and parsley.

Step 3
Peel the boiled beet, rinse under water, and pat dry with paper towels. Slice into thin slices. If the slices are packed too tightly, you won't be able to roll them into a roll.
