Number Of Ingredients 10

6 beets, about600 grams, scrubbed, washed, and dried
100 grams walnuts, toasted and chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ cup Balsamic vinegar
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 garlic cloves, grated
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped mint

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 °F 220 °C.
  • Individually wrap each beet with aluminum foil and place on a baking tray.
  • Roast the beets until tender. About 45 - 1 hour depending on their size. Check with a knife by cutting through the center of the beet. They should be firm, not mushy.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Peel the beets while they are still warm and slice them into rounds or dice them. Transfer them into a large bowl.
  • Combine all of the vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Pour over the beets and carefully toss them. Season with salt and pepper. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This salad tastes best cold.
  • Combine the yogurt dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.
  • Drizzle the yogurt on top of the beets and garnish with the walnuts.
  • Note: The walnuts can be toasted in the oven at 350 degrees for 8 minutes or over medium heat in a pan.
