    Beet, arugula, edamame, and goat cheese salad

    This is a simple little salad that uses beets and edamame. Arugula is a rich and slightly spicy salad green that makes a salad interesting by itself, and beets and goat cheese are made for each other. This is one of our favorite beet recipes.

    Balsamic Roasted Beet sandwich

    This is a simple version of a beet sandwich. It is a great idea to use beets as “cold cuts” in sandwiches. You can customize this sandwich in any way that your heart desires. We hope that you will add this to your lunch rotation. It would be delicious with a hot bowl of tomato-basil soup.

    Beet salad with polenta croutons and goat cheese

    This salad is a take on a traditional beet and orange salad. The polenta croutons are a innovative addition that will add some real substance to the dish. The neat thing about making polenta yourself it that you can add any herbs and spices that you want to customize them to your tastes. This is one of the classic beet recipes, with a twist, that we hope you will try.

    Beet Recipes

    Orange Cardamom Beet Smoothie

    We couldn’t make a beet roundup without a smoothie in it. For the regular smoothie drinker, frozen bananas are your good friend. This smoothie uses fresh ginger and cardamom. Cardamom is a super unique spice that is tragically under-utilized in western cuisine. We hope that you enjoy this bright and nutritious way to start your day.

    Beet Panzanella

    This salad is a very tasty take on a panzanella salad. This recipe uses toasted rye bread as a variation on the classic. If you eat dairy, try adding a feta or goat cheese to to this salad.

    Beet and almond pesto pasta

    This is one of the most gorgeous dishes that we have seen, and it is sure to get your dinner guests talking. Those white noodles covered in that fascia sauce is delightful. Try adding some purple basil to the pesto to punch up the flavor without damaging the color.

    Beet Chili

    The amount of optional ingredients in this dish should tell you that this is a very versatile recipe. You can make it several levels of spicy, sweet, or herbaceous. This would be a great dish to throw in the crock pot and let it cook all day. We hope you enjoy this Beet recipe.

    Spiralized beets with whipped feta

    This dish uses a spiralizer to make the beet into noodles. The end result is somewhere between a pasta dish and a warm salad. You could easily customize this recipe to fit your mood. Try tossing the beet pasta with pesto, garlic butter, or even just olive oil and Balsamic vinegar with fresh herbs. This is a great dish for those busy nights when you don’t know what to make.

    Baked beet falafel

    This is a colorful take on the original. The addition of beets to the Falafel adds a sweet earthiness and gorgeous color. The recipe does have flour in it, so if you are gluten free you may need to exchange it for tapioca or coconut flour. The recipe also includes a quinoa bowl to serve with it. This is a fun recipe.
