The best beet salad

This pretty beet & potato salad is so delicious and balanced. It has tender red beets, baby potatoes, roasted veggies and chickpeas tossed with a light, sweet and tangy dressing. The dressing is so flavorful with a combo of extra virgin olive oil, citrus and white balsamic. Dill is such a distinct flavor which pairs so well with beets and potatoes. This recipe is a gorgeous addition to any spread, especially Valentine's Day for the gorgeous pink hue. I like this vegan and gluten free recipe for meal prep as well because it gets more flavorful with age. The red onions mellow out as they pickle in the dressing and the cauliflower gets pinker and more delicious. I add unsalted pepitas for extra crunch, protein and flavor. Calamatas and roasted peppers add a distinct tang that balances out the sweetness of the beets. Then lime brightens it up and makes the flavors pop.

The Prettiest Valentine's recipe

What makes this a pretty beet & potato salad a good recipe for Valentines's Day? The brilliant pink hue is perfect for the Day of Love. But besides this salad's esthetics, it is full of heart healthy ingredients like beets, chickpeas and cauliflower plus healthy fats from olive oil and pepitas. In my book, that is perfect for Valentine's. The way to my heart is a healthy and beautiful salad and if you feel the same, you must try this recipe.

Ingredients for Pretty Beet & Potato Salad

The ingredients for this salad are humble and available year round. If dill is not your favorite, you can switch it out for cilantro or milder herbs like parsley. Be sure to pick a baby potato as those are the most tender. Fingerlings will also work well in this recipe. Be warned, the beets will make your hands and cutting board pink!

How to make pretty Beet & Potato Salad

This is a really easy recipe! There are 3 steps. First you roast the cauliflower, second boil the beets and potatoes and last is assembly. It is so quick and simple.

  • Preheat the oven to 400. Place cauliflower florets on a sheet pan and season with a pinch of salt and a tsp of olive oil. Toss well then bake in the oven for 30 minutes turning once halfway. Once cooked let cool until the salad assembly step.
  • In a medium sized saucepan place the unpeeled beets and whole baby potatoes in enough water to cover them plus 2-3 inches. Bring to a rolling boil and cook until fork tender. About 30 minutes. Once they are tender run them under cold water. The beets are very easy to peel once cooked by sliding your thumbs along the skin. Once peeled chop them in thin half moons.

Tips for making the best Beet & Potato Salad

Making salad is not brain surgery but there are many secrets that will have you cooking like a pro. With these tips you will be making the best salads.

  • Always drain the water well from boiled ingredients. Water is the enemy of flavor said my mentor Janet Chapler. You can even pat down the potatoes but I would not pat the beets unless you want a pink towel.
  • When cooking with beets always be aware that they will stain your hands. If you have an even after cooking, I advise you to wear gloves during the preparation. The beets will also stain cutting boards, clothing and counters. It is not permanent but will take some time to go away.
  • Use fresh herbs and fresh citrus if you can. The flavors are way more vibrant than dried herbs or prepared citrus juices.
  • If you are sensitive to onions, this tip is for you. Before adding the onions to the salad, add 1 tbsp white balsamic and a few drops of pure maple or some sugar to the onions. Let them marinate this way during the cooking of the other ingredients. This will quickly pickle and sweeten them up. Or if you prefer, skip the red onions and instead use green onions which are much milder and will still look pretty.

This is the easiest 15 minute plant-based breakfast ever. It is full of “meaty” seared tofu, healthy greens and veggies. 
Freezing totally changes the tofu’s texture. It transforms its usually soft texture to a more porous, and meaty one. This tofu sears well and takes on abundant flavor. For people who don’t like tofu, this is a game changer. 

The full recipe is on my blog through the link in my bio or google Betterfoodguru QUICK TOFU AND GREENS SCRAMBLE

Save and share this delicious wintery salad and follow @betterfoodguru for more

This one is hearty, healthy and full of seasonal produce. When kale is massaged with lemon, roasted garlic, tahini and olive oil it is exceptionall. Farro has a neutral taste which goes so well with all of the flavors from Roasted Kabocha squash and Cauliflower, bell peppers and pomegranate arils. This one is the real deal. Plus this one utilizes maximum hand action in the mixing IYKYK🤣

WINTER KALE AND FARRO SALAD
* 3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin, divided
* 3 garlic cloves whole
* 3 baby bell peppers halved
* 2 cups cauliflower florets
* 8 oz farro cooked according to package and cooled
* 1 bunch kale washed, stemmed and chopped in bite sized peices
* 1 lemon large, juiced
* 1 tbsp sesame tahini
* 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 black pepper to taste
* 1 sprig rosemary torn
* 1/2 tsp garlic powder
* 1 cup kabocha squash cubed
* Preheat oven to 400 degrees
* Spread cauliflower florets, garlic cloves bell peppers and kabocha squash in a single layer on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, garlic powder and rosemary. Toss with hands to distribute oil and seasoning well and bake for 20 minutes. Then let cool.
* In a large mixing bowl add the kale, remaining olive oil, lemon, tahini, salt, pepper and roasted garlic. Massage the kale gently for 5 minutes mixing all of the flavors into the kale. This is dressing the salad. Melding the ingredients together with your hands will relax the kale and produce maximum flavor.
* Add the cooked farro and mix. Then add in the roasted and cooled veggies and the pomegranite arils. (Chop the peppers first in smaller bite sized pieces)Taste for seasoning. Adjust if you like to add more salt or lemon. This salad will get more flavorful as it sits so be careful not to over salt.
