MEDITERRANEAN BEET AND YOGURT SALAD
Different versions of this salad are popular from Turkey to North Africa. Red beets are used throughout the Mediterranean, but you could make this pungent salad with any type. If you mix the yogurt into the beets, your salad will be pink. I prefer to spoon it over the top.

SALAD WITH BEETS AND YOGURT DRESSING
Greek yogurt is thicker, creamier, and higher in protein than regular yogurt, so it makes a deliciously creamy dressing with a tang that pairs nicely with beets.

ROASTED BEETS WITH DILL-AND-CHIVE YOGURT DRESSING
This dill-and-chive-flecked yogurt dressing is a riff on Indian raita and Greek tzatziki, condiments that temper spicy dishes. It's used here on a refreshing salad of roasted golden beets with crunchy cucumbers and green apple. (Feel free to slice up a jalapeno to spark some heat.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle beets with oil; season with salt. Wrap in parchment-lined foil and roast until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then rub off skins and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
- Whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, and chives. Season with salt and pepper. Toss apple with 3 tablespoons dressing. Arrange beets on a platter; top with apple and cucumber. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with jalapeno; serve.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe beets. If you can't find fresh beets, you can use canned beets, but be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
- To save time, you can cook the beets in advance. Simply wrap them in foil and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until tender.
- If you don't have any plain yogurt on hand, you can use Greek yogurt instead. Just be sure to thin it out with a little milk or water so that it's the consistency of sour cream.
- To make the salad more substantial, you can add some cooked chicken, quinoa, or lentils.
- For a more flavorful dressing, you can add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard or a teaspoon of honey to the yogurt dressing.
Conclusion:
This salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy beets. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for grilled meats or fish. The yogurt dressing is a light and tangy complement to the sweet beets, and the walnuts add a nice crunch.
