Beetroot Dip with Greek Yoghurt and Walnuts

Sharing is caring!

This Greek Beetroot Dip recipe combines roasted beets with Greek yoghurt, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. It can serve nicely in a buffet dinner or on your everyday dinner table.

It’s a beautiful and addictive dip that is far too easy to devour in no time!

We came back yesterday from a visit to Nafplion again.   I suppose now that the house is progressing we shall be visiting on a regular basis at least once a week in order to see some things on the spot.   This means that I will be having less time to visit and post recipes but I will do my best to post at least once a week and at least reciprocate those leaving a comment at my blog.

Last evening I added a new comments plug-in as I had problems with the previous one but I have not yet managed to import all the previous comments, so I will have to work on that as well.

Today I am posting an easy recipe as when I come back I have so many things to do, so my post will be short.  I have posted two other recipes with betroots on my other blog, so if you like check them out.

Note:  If you do not have beetroot preserved in vinegar, you can boil or roast beetroots and add some wine or balsamic vinegar.

Note:  If you do not have mint pesto, add fresh mint.  The remaining ingredients of the pesto are also repeated in the salad, so just adjust the quantities by adding just a little bit more garlic and olive oil.
