    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 ambiance delightful!

    roasted beets with cashew garlic sauce

    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 microgreens 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!

    How to assemble this healthy and detoxifying beet salad:

    • Place rinsed and drained microgreens in a salad plate.
    • Arrange the beet wedges over the micro greens
    • Add a big dollop of cashew garlic sauce.
    • Drizzle some EVOO, salt, and pepper.

    PRO TIP

    • Roast beets and cashew sauce can be made ahead of time as they can be refrigerated for 3-4 days.

        Thank you Antonia. Would love to know your feedback. We eat beets year-round but nothing like fresh beets from your own garden.

      Your recipe did not ssy how much water in the ingredients list. You said to drain the cashew soaking water but didn’t mention to save it if that’s the water you meant to use. I also used raw garlic along with roasted garlic and didn’t know I was supposed to add the beets until I read the comments. I wish the recipe was revised prior to starting. It was still good.
