Beet Salad with Mayo
Ingredients:
3-4 medium size beets
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp ground fenugreek and coriander
salt, chili flakes, cilantro
Instructions:
- Submerge the beets in a pot of water and boil for about 40 minutes, depending on their size. Check for doneness with a fork; they should have slight resistance.
- Wrap beets in foil, drizzle with olive oil, and roast at 400°F for 40–50 minutes until tender.
- In a bowl, combine mayonnaise and sour cream.
- Add blue fenugreek, coriander, chili flakes, grated garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Season with salt and mix until smooth.
- Once cooked, let the beets cool. You can speed up cooling by placing them in cold water or the freezer (in a safe container).
- Wear gloves to avoid staining your hands. Peel the beets by gently rubbing off the skin. Grate them finely.
- Add the grated beets to the bowl with the dressing.
- Gently mix until the beets are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the salad for added flavor.
- Serve as a side dish, or spoon onto crackers for a crunchy, colorful appetizer.
