Pantzarosalata

Beets are the main ingredient in this colorful Greek dish that comes in two different versions. Cooked beets are either coated in a yogurt-based dressing or simply seasoned with vinegar, while the whole dish can come in the form of a creamy, thick purée, or as a regular salad with diced beets. Pantzarosalata is traditionally served garnished with whole, halved, or crushed walnuts and is most commonly enjoyed as a meze dish.
