Beets and Yogurt Salad


This salad is very easy to make and it tastes and looks amazing.

Ingredients:
  • 1 pound beets
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • Extra-virgin oil 
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • salt and pepper from the mill
  • 2 tablespoons of salt to cook the beets


What To Do:












Gather your ingredients.







Put water to boil over high heat in a large saucepan.

Meanwhile scrub the beets under running water.


 


When the water boils add the beets and the salt. This causes the water to stop bubbling.
When the water returns to a boil reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 45min to 1 hour.








The beets are cooked when you can easily pierce them with a knife.
Drain and let them cool.
When they are cool enough to handle peel...








...and cut them in cubes.








Let the beets cool in the freezer for 10 minutes in a wide container.








Meanwhile set a pleasant table.






Once the beets are cold spoon the yogurt over the plates.








Place the beets on top.








Drizzle Balsamic vinegar.








Season with salt and pepper.
Top with parsley.
Drizzle olive oil





and Voilá! your salad is ready!
Bon Appetit!
