A creamy tart-nutty dressing with a gorgeous pink hue. Healthy and a great addition to a composed salad
Try this dressing on my: Buddha Bowl With Beets, Quinoa and a Bevy of Vegetables (see recipe)
Ingredients
- 1 medium red ruby beet
- 2 tablespoons filtered water
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ¾ teaspoon fresh garlic, peeled, finely grated (up to 1 t. if you like garlicky)
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 4 grates fresh black pepper
- 3 tablespoons plain yogurt, full fat
Instructions
- Steam the beet until tender and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Peel and cut into 1" chunks. Will have 3/4 cup of beets. Place in a small 4 cup food processor. Add the next 7 ingredients; water through pepper.
- Process until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the bowl, process until very smooth, another minute. Add yogurt and pulse in.
- Place the dressing in a clean glass container and refrigerate. Will stay for up to one week.
- Drizzle over ingredients of a composed salad, such as Buddha Bowl With Beets, Quinoa and a Bevy of Vegetables.
- For VEGAN version: substitute cashew cream for yogurt (or add extra virgin olive oil.)
