Method

Preparation of Beets

  1. 1

    Roast the Beets

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45-60 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces through the beets. Once done, allow to cool, then peel and slice into wedges.

Salad Assembly

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the beets are cooling, chop the bell peppers and jalapeño into small pieces. Rinse the basil leaves and tear them into smaller pieces.

  2. 3

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced beets, chopped bell peppers, jalapeño, and basil.

Prepare the Dressing

  1. 4

    Mix Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are coated.

Make Skordalia

  1. 6

    Cook Potatoes

    In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the cubed potatoes. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

    In a food processor, combine cooked potatoes, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
