    Beet salad with text reading 14 delicious Beet Recipes.

    I've heard that there are some people out there that don't love beets! How can that be? They are so so sweet and so gorgeous with that deep purple or golden yellow color.

    I think they just haven't found the perfect beet recipe. Luckily I am here to change all that!

    This collection of beet dishes covers everything from pickled, to sides, to main dishes and even a dessert!

    Beet main dish recipes.

    You probably think of beets mainly as a side dish, but not so here at Sidewalk Shoes. We love to include beets in main dishes and after you see these recipes, you'll agree - main dishes with beets are delicious!

    We have a classic French Lentil and Beet Salad that can do double duty! It is the perfect side dish for roasted chicken or fish, but with some bread and served over a bed of lettuce it makes a great main dish!

    Grain salads are our go to easy salad for dinner and our Balsamic Roasted Beets, Quinoa and Kale is a family favorite! We enjoy this salad all year long. Bacon is optional (but not at our house!)

    Using some homemade orange chile oil turns Orange Chile Oil Roasted Chicken, Beets and Green Beans into an easy and flavorful sheet pan dinner!

    Have you jumped on the bowl bandwagon? You'll want to dive right in with this Tuna Quinoa Bowl with tuna, quinoa, beets, beet greens, olives, beans and hard boiled eggs.

    The Spinach Beet and Lentil Salad really shows the versatility of beets (and just look at those pretty golden beets!) A tahini maple dressing and toasted walnuts really take it over the top!

    Roasted Vegetable Salad with Caper Vinaigrette is another salad that can be a light main dish salad or a side dish. With beets, brussels sprouts, potatoes, pears, spinach and goat cheese, it is a clean our your fridge kind of salad! Use whatever veggies you have!

    Beet side dishes.

    With beets being so hearty and earthy, they can turn any salad into a main dish salad from a side dish salad.

    So, finding a collection of recipes that are specifically beet sides, can be a little tricky. I have chosen lighter salads and sides, but some of these could also be considered main dishes.

    This Roasted Beets and Blood Orange Salad is definitely one that could go either way - main dish or side dish. If I was going to serve it as a min dish, I would add some cheese.

    Honey and Balsamic Glazed Root Vegetables made it's appearance on my Thanksgiving table and has been requested every year since then. Perfectly glazed, sweet with tangy goat cheese!

    Probably the recipe I make the most is the Simple Roasted Beets and Carrots. The beets and carrots get roasted in a simple lemon vinaigrette (with optional herbs) and then are glazed with a maple syrup and vinegar blend for the perfect sweet and sour roasted vegetables!

    How vibrant is this Beet and Orange Salad with Citrus-Cumin Vinaigrette? Everyone loves this salad and the vinaigrette can be used on other salads!

    Beet condiment ideas.

    I only have two recipes for beet condiments, but I make them all the time!

    Whenever I get a bunch of beets I always make Pickled Beets. My grandmother used to make them and I loved them and still do. They make the perfect side dish all winter long, are great added to salads and I sometimes stand at the fridge eating them right out of the jar!

    If you love dipping veggies, you're going to love this Roasted Beet Hummus! Just look at that gorgeous color! While not a true hummus, it's so good and so good for you. I like to serve it at Easter, it's just so darn pretty!

    Beet dessert recipe.

    I only have one dessert featuring beets, but it's a winner.

    These Strawberry Beet Smoothie Pops are gorgeous and so tasty. No one will guess that there are beets in them, they will just be floored by the color!
