Beetroot Salad with Greek Yogurt

Written by Published on Updated on October 3, 2019 in Mediterranean cuisine, Side Dish

Hey foodie friends,

This morning I woke up feeling as if the walls were coming down on me.  I didn’t sleep well, tossed and turned most of the night.  I was trying to understand what has happened in my life.  It has been one of the hardest summers that I have had to deal with. I haven’t had the time to just sit and think, and try to understand what happened.  And to top it all off, I haven’t been feeling well a slight runny nose and a sore throat.   Geezzz   

With the hectic schedule that I have lately, I made some time yesterday to plan out my cooking calendar for the next few months.  Half way through I fell asleep hahahhaah.  I’ve been working quite a lot lately, so I think this is my body telling me it’s time to slow down. 🙂  

And so I started by making the most simpliest salad, Beetroot salad a few days ago, now you are probably wondering why  Beetroot?  hmmm, I guess I was just looking to make something different.  My hubby loves Beetroot, and so this is really the reason why I made this salad.  I found that the yogurt gave it a suprisingly delicious taste, buttttt you seriously need to like eating Beetroot to enjoy this salad.  I am not much of a fan, but the Greek yogurt and Smoked Paprika made a world of difference. 🙂  

Have a wonderful day my fellow foodie friends 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Oh Sophie, I'm so sorry. It really does sound like you need some time to step away from things and reflect, to calm the storm in your head and work through everything that's happened. I think being hectic can mean we push our feelings to one side and keep ourselves busy, but all that 'stuff' is still there and building up. Take care of yourself because there's only one you.  ♥ PS. Must admit I hate beetroot but my dad loves it so I'll pass this one to him! Caz xx
