Roasted beets with cashew garlic sauce – A healthy appetizer inspired by Oceanos, a Mediterranean restaurant in NJ. We visited Oceanos this past December to celebrate a special birthday, the food was delicious and the ambience delightful!
One of my favorite dishes was the roasted beets served with a smooth, velvety and delectable cashew garlic sauce. It took me few months to replicate this recipe but the one I have now is a sure keeper. The recipe is adapted from pinch of yum, one of my absolute favorite blogs. I’m a huge fan of Lindsey’s recipes!
This simple recipe is comprised of roasted beets cut into wedges, a 5-minute cashew garlic sauce, and “vegetable confetti” – tiny micro greens packed with nutrients. I think after the, beet salad celebration recipe, beetroot raita, tomato beetroot soup, this salad is my next favorite beet recipe.
I follow Pinch of Yum’s recipe but I double the garlic and add a piece or two of roasted beet to the food processor to make a pretty pink sauce!
One you have the sauce ready assemble the beet wedges over rinsed and drained micro greens and add a big dollop of cashew garlic sauce. Drizzle some EVOO, salt and pepper. A super healthy and detoxifying salad for lunch or dinner! The beetroots can be roasted ahead of time and the cashew sauce can be refrigerated for 3-4 days.
