[…] Related: Tangy Roasted Beet Salad Dressing […]
So… I love beets. I mean, this post probably gave it away. Or maybe this one. Or was it this one? Anyways, that’s not important. (It could have been this one.) What is important is this roasted beet salad dressing! Because it is officially the last roasted beet salad dressing recipe you will ever need. Promise!
Because of my immense love for beets – which I won’t dwell on here because I dwelled on it here – I’m always looking for new and innovative ways to incorporate them into my cooking. Mostly because I think my fiancĂ© might end things if he has to eat another roasted beet. So I hid them this time! In a delicious salad dressing. Smart, right?
It really doesn’t get any easier than this, and it definitely doesn’t get any healthier. The roasted beets are cooled and then simply pureed with Greek yogurt to give the salad dressing a nice tangy flavor. The dressing is finished off with lemon juice, white wine vinegar, olive oil to smooth it out, and salt and pepper.
We ate this on a simple salad of spring greens but literally it is so versatile: use whatever leftover veggies you have in the fridge at the end of the week, whip up this quick salad dressing, and enjoy! Be sure to join the mailing list so you don’t miss a single roasted beet recipe! Because, you know, there will be more. Definitely. đ

Beets are so versatile. I like your spin on this salad.
What a beautiful vibrant dressing. I love beets too and will have to try this.
Hahaha how clever hiding the beets in the salad dressing. It sounds incredible, I can already taste that blend of juice beets and Greek yoghurt. I’m not sure I could resist saving a few slices or chunks to pop in the salad too though haha… đ
