Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Peel and chop the beets into small cubes. Boil or steam the beets until they are tender, around 15-20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dressing

    In a bowl, mix the sumac, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a dressing.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooled beets with the dressing. Toss well to ensure all beets are coated.

  4. 4

    Add the Fizz

    Pour in the root beer and soda water, gently mixing to incorporate the fizz without crushing the beets.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, add fresh herbs for garnish. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
