PREP TIME:  10 minutes 
TOTAL TIME: 1-2 hours if roasting beets or 30-45 minutes if boiling beets 

Serves: 2

INGREDIENTS

  1. 4 large red beets⁣⁠
  2. ½ cup coconut yogurt⁣⁠
  3. 1 clove garlic, crushed and minced⁣⁠
  4. 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar ⁣⁠
  5. 2 Tbsp water⁣ (as needed for consistency)⁠
  6. Sea salt, to taste (about ½-¾ tsp)⁣⁠
  7. 2-3 Tbsp minced dill⁣⁠
  8. ¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts⁣⁠

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 425º. Rinse the beets well and wrap them in foil.*⁣⁠ Roast the beets 1-2 hours, until tender, then remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely.⁣⁠ Peel the skin off the cooled beets and chop them into 1-inch cubes.⁣⁠
  2. 2. Combine the yogurt with the remaining ingredients (except the dill and walnuts) in a small bowl and mix well to combine. Dollop the yogurt over the beets and finish with the dill and walnuts.⁣⁠ Enjoy!⁣⁠
