Authentic Crete Recipe for Beetroot Salad from the Cretan Diet

Beetroot Salad

Ingredients

1 kilo of beetroots
3/4 garlic cloves, crushed
300 grams of Greek yoghurt

50 grams of walnuts
roughly chopped
8 tbsp olive oil
salt, 3 tbsp vinegar

Method

BEETROOT SALAD

Trim the beetroots if you need to, leaving about an inch of stalks so you can handle them without getting red fingers! Boil whole for about 20 to 30 minutes depending on size. When cooked, let cool and then peel. It's best to put your hands in some food bags or wear plastic gloves when you do this!

When peeled, dice them and place in a bowl.

In another bowl, place all the other ingredients and mix well. Pour over the beetroots and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Cover and let the salad rest in the refrigerator for an hour or two before serving.
