    Raw Beetroot Salad is one of the most liver-cleansing and detoxing salads. This one is made with Greek yogurt, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, and a little bit of lemon. All served over a crunchy green salad. Though this is completely optional, as you can enjoy this Beetroot salad simply as a dip!

    Raw Beet Dip

    Since I tried this salad it has been my favorite way to eat beets! It's crunchy, creamy, and takes no time to make.

    How To Make Raw Beetroot Salad

    All you need is either a blender or a small food processor. Pulse the beets (after peeling them first with a potato peeler or a knife) until they look coarsely ground. Don't let them get too mushy as they will turn the dip watery. Season with salt and pepper. And then mix together with the Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice. Super simple right?

    Beet Dip

    Ideally, you should leave the dip for up to 2 hours in the fridge. This way the flavors get stronger and blend nicely together. Also, this will give a strong dip color to the dip. Because the beets will get marinated during this time they will release some of their water. So give it a stir before serving.

    Also, make sure you use strained Greek yogurt. You don't want a runny one for this recipe for the same reason mentioned above.

    Beets To Use

    Try to use smaller, more tender beets for this recipe. Or use ones that have tender and vibrant green leaves on them that don't look very old.

    Liver Cleansing

    Beets are one of the best foods to cleanse your liver. It's a traditional remedy to promote liver detox by activating liver enzymes. And in this recipe, they're paired with plenty of raw garlic which is another superfood for the liver (and so much more).

    Raw beets are even healthier than cooked ones. As they keep all of their nutrients (minerals, vitamins, antioxidants).

    Beet Salad With Greens

    Serve With

    You can serve this healthy beetroot salad as a dip along with cucumber sticks (or other vegetables like celery, carrots, and peppers). Even together with baguette slices, or pita bread (like this healthy No-yeast Greek Yogurt Pita Bread).

    Or serve on top of a crunchy leafy green salad like I like to do. Made with lettuce, red cabbage, avocado, and cucumber.

    To Make The Beetroot Dip:
