Grilled Beet Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing

Time Investment: 10 Minutes Beginning to End

Ingredients (Dressing)

• 2 Cloves Garlic
• 2 Tablespoons Tahini
• 1/2 Red Chili (optional if you don’t want it spicy!)
• 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
• 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
• 3 Tablespoons Hot Water
• Kosher Salt

Directions (Dressing)

• Add all to a food processor or blender and pulse/blend until smooth

Ingredients (Salad)

• 3-6 Beets (Red or golden)
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• Kosher Salt
• Lettuce of preference (I used chopped beet greens)
• Green Onions (I used fresh garlic scapes instead because they’re in season and I put them on literally everything right now!)

Directions

• Brush beets with olive oil & sprinkle with kosher salt
• Grill 3 minutes per side until fork tender
• Serve the grilled beets over top of the greens/lettuce and drizzle with lemon dressing

We served this with steak and it was a perfect side dish, especially with fresh beets from the farmer’s market.
