Description

You’ll love this vibrant, healthy dish from the new Eat What You Want Cookbook by Gaby Dalkin. It features roasted beets over ultra creamy labneh, with avocado, homemade basil vinagrette and fresh herbs. Serve it as a side dish, salad or light meal. Recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.

Ingredient:

  • Beet Salad

  • 2 shallots, peeled and sliced into quarters
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups labneh (labneh is extra-thick Greek yogurt—see notes for details)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons basil vinaigrette (below)
  • 1 to 2 ripe avocados, pitted, peeled and sliced into wedges or chunks
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Fresh dill leaves
  • Flaky sea salt (or kosher salt)

  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
