How to Make Bangar Bil Zabadi Egyptian Beet Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub 2 medium-sized beets. Wrap each beet individually in foil and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  2. Once cool enough to handle, peel and cube the roasted beets (approximately 2 cups cubed).
  3. While the beets are roasting, prepare the other vegetables: dice 1 large cucumber and 2 medium tomatoes (approximately 2 cups combined).
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  5. Gently combine the cubed beets, cucumber, and tomatoes in a large bowl.
  6. Pour the yogurt dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or longer for best flavor) before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs like mint or parsley, if desired.
