This dish will look superb on your table anytime of year, but is especially good as a cool summertime course. The beets are served at room temperature with a chilled yogurt dressing.

This recipe may seem like a strange mix but my boyfriend called me a 'genius' when I served this as a side. I made the yogurt myself in my new yogurt-maker (hence the experimentation with strange yogurt uses) and cooked the foil-wrapped beets in a slow-cooker on low overnight. The outcome was fun interesting and packed with flavor. Read More

I am a huge fan of baked beets. So I served this as a pre-dinner appy-type dish. I served it at room temp. My guests thought it was so wonderful in flavour pretty to look at and creative. I'm going to make it again for my Thankgiving dinner buffet table. Excellent recipe! Read More

This was delicious.. I used both regular beets and golden beets. I'll make this again.. only change will be using red pepper flakes instead of raw peppers. I didn't care for the raw pepper texture but I did like the heat Read More
