What can I serve this salad with?

Grains like quinoa, bulgur, and couscous go really well with this salad. It also goes great with any kind of fish or chicken. You can serve it with other sides or salads like these Mediterranean Potatoes , these Vegan Loaded Greek Fries , or this Greek Potato Salad with Feta .

You can steam the beets and mix them with the vinaigrette the night before and just add Greek yogurt right before serving. The salad will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days or 4 days without the yogurt. The longer the beets sit in the vinaigrette the more flavor they will develop so they'll be even better the next day!

Instructions

Peel the beets and cut them into wedges or dice.
Add 1 inch of water to a large cooking pot with a steam basket and add the chopped beets.
Steam the beets for 25-35 minutes or until soft. The time will vary depending on the size of the beets.
While the beets are steaming, make the dressing. In a medium bowl combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, dill, sea salt, and pepper. Whisk well to combine.
Once the beets are done, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the dressing over them. Toss gently to combine.
Serve the beet salad on a large serving platter with dollops of Greek yogurt and more parsley and dill if desired. You can mix the yogurt in or leave it in dollops on top.

Notes

Greek yogurt alternative: To keep the dish dairy-free, you can use a vegan yogurt alternative. Soft goat cheese is also a great option.

Storing: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
