Beet and Carrot Salad with Toasted Walnuts on Tzatziki

Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3 small carrots, peeled and sliced into sticks
  • 3 asparagus stalks, sliced into 1” pieces (optional)
  • 15 oz can of beets, drained and quartered
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
Dressing
  • ¾ cup plain Greek-style yogurt
  • ¼ cup cucumber, grated and drained 
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional)
  • kosher salt
Garnish
  • 2 tbsp walnuts, chopped and toasted
  • ¼ cup feta, crumbled

Instructions

  • In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the carrots and asparagus pieces until they are just tender and browned. Remove them from the skillet and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl, and set aside. 
  • In the same skillet, add the chopped walnuts and toast over medium heat just until fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside. These will be used for the topping. 
  • In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, dill, and honey (optional, to add a hint of sweetness), and season with Kosher salt.
  • Spread the Tzatziki dressing on the bottom of a small plate. 
  • In the mixing bowl with the sautéed carrots and asparagus, add the quartered beets. Season with Kosher salt, and drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil over the carrots and beets, then gently toss.
  • Add the seasoned mixed vegetables on top of the Tzatziki base and top with crumbled feta and toasted walnuts.
  • Serve immediately.
