When it comes to beets, there are typically two sides to the story. There are some who adore beets and others who despise them. Great job to all of us who are already including this root vegetable into our meals! Beets are packed with nutrients. Folate, manganese, fiber, potassium, iron, and vitamins C and B6 are all abundant in beets. Beets, which are high in antioxidants, are said to help with inflammation, detoxification, and heart health. Surprisingly, beets have long been credited with Russians’ excellent health and long lives, owing to their borscht intake. Is there a decent borscht recipe out there? LOL.

Greek Yogurt Dip with Beets

Pita bread is served with a nutritious raw beet and Greek yogurt dip.

1 day 15 minutes total time

• 1 big peeled and sliced beet
• 1 lemon, plus a second for juicing and zesting
• 1 cup roasted walnuts, plus extra for garnish
• pomegranate molasses, 1 tbsp
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1 big peeled and sliced garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
• 1/2 cup More Virgin Olive Oil plus a little extra for drizzling
• 1 cup strained Greek yogurt for serving
• Pita bread is used to serve.

1. Place the Greek yogurt in a cheese cloth or a clean kitchen towel to drain at least one day before serving this dip. Refrigerate for at least one night.

2. In a food processor, combine the beets, walnuts, lemon juice, molasses, red pepper flakes, garlic, and salt. Pulse on high, scraping down the sides as required, until the beets and nuts are finely chopped. Blend in the remaining EVOO until a rough paste forms. As needed, season with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.

3. Place the Greek yogurt in a bowl and smooth the top with a spoon. On top of the yogurt, spread the beet mixture. A sprinkle of EVOO, more walnuts, and lemon zest finish the meal. Serve with pita bread on the side.

If you have a Middle Eastern market or store nearby, you may save time draining the yogurt by using Labneh, a Middle Eastern yogurt.
