This beetroot salad with harissa dish is simple to make and incredibly tasty. I mean really tasty. Earthy beetroot loves flavour \u2014 big flavours! And harissa spice gives it exactly that. Ruby red beets are peeled and quartered, then roasted in the oven, which brings out their sweet flavor and then are tossed a dressing made with Greek yoghurt, harissa, lemon juice and feta cheese. Together, we\u2019ve got cooling yoghurt, tangy lemon and a deeply flavorful spice with a punch of heat. In the end, it\u2019s so remarkably simple and and utterly delicious. If you\u2019ve been wondering how to put harissa to use, then this recipe is for you!<\/p>\n

How to serve this beetroot salad<\/h2>\n

What I love about this salad is you can either toss the roasted beets in the harissa-yoghurt dressing, serve the beets on a layer of the dressing, or simply drizzle some of the dressing on top and serve the rest of the side. You can also serve it while it\u2019s warm, at room temperature, or simply enjoy it cold as leftovers out of the fridge. Making this a simple, versatile and new way to enjoy beetroot. If you love beets and love a little spice, then I think you\u2019ll love this beetroot with harissa recipe as much as I do!<\/p>\n

Harissa spice: a North African speciality<\/h2>\n

Typically, you can find harissa in the form of a chili paste, but I personally like to use a dry spice mix. And more specifically my own spice mix which is made with chilli, red sweet paprika, Kalahari desert salt, cumin, coriander seeds, garlic, and Piment d\u2019Espelette. It has a nice kick to it without being overpowering and it pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness of vegetables when they are roasted.<\/p>\n

Harissa spice can vary<\/h3>\n

It is of course worthwhile mentioning that harissa spice mix and harissa paste<\/a> can vary substantially both in heat level and flavouring, so you\u2019ll want to find a brand that suits your taste.<\/p>\n

We love to serve this harissa-spiced beetroot dish as a light lunch for two along with some crusty bread. But is also can be served as part of a German \u201cBrotzeit\u201d or as a Middle Eastern mezze with other side dishes like lamb kofta, hummus, tabouleh and the like. Or try it as a side with grilled meats and other vegetable sides.<\/p>\n
