Creamy beet salad is absolutely delicious and a great alternative to a regular beet salad. Cooked al dente, the roasted beets bring nice texture and flavor!
I have expressed my love for beets in a few of my juicing posts on my blog. Today, I wanted to share with you another way I truly enjoy this fantastic root vegetable. This salad is absolutely delicious with creamy, garlic-y flavor.
Roasting the beets brings out the true beet flavor beautifully and doesn’t cause mushy texture.
Here is how I cook my creamy beet salad.
If you love beets, give it a try. You will not regret. 🙂
Enjoy!
Creamy Beet Salad
Creamy beet salad is absolutely delicious and a great alternative to a regular beet salad. Cooked al dente, the roasted beets bring nice texture and flavor!
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 1 hour
Total : 1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 7-8 medium beets

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

What do you do with the roasted garlic??
Shinee says
Oh man, so sorry, I left it out. Roasted garlic is mixed in with grated beets and other ingredients in step 4. They’ll be super soft and creamy.
