It contains 12.3 g of carbs, 4.2 g of protein, 2.1 g of fat and 2.3 g of fiber. Its 525 mg of Sodium covers 23% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 55 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Beet pickle with strained yogurt brings tangy pickled beetroot together with thick, creamy strained yogurt. The beet’s earthy sweetness and sharp pickle flavour balance the yogurt’s mild tartness, making this a colourful, chilled Turkish-style mezze. Serve it as part of a shared spread, alongside grilled foods, or as a bright side to a simple meal.
Beetroot contributes fibre and potassium, while strained yogurt adds protein; the pickling means the dish can be relatively high in sodium. For a milder, less salty version, drain the beet well before mixing it with the yogurt and leave out the pickle brine. Keep it chilled until serving.

Beet pickle with strained yogurt is a tangy, creamy cold side or meze made by combining pickled beetroot with thick strained yogurt, often with garlic. It brings the beet’s acidity and color together with the yogurt’s mild, dense texture.
To make beet pickle with strained yogurt, drain and chop the pickled beetroot, then fold it into strained yogurt mixed with crushed garlic. Chill it briefly before serving so the flavors come together, and taste before adding extra salt.
Yes, plain Greek yogurt works well in beet pickle with strained yogurt because it is thick and tangy. If yours is loose, drain it first; flavored or sweetened yogurt would overpower the savory beet and garlic.
Beet pickle with strained yogurt turns pink because beetroot pigments bleed into the yogurt. For a paler, swirled appearance, drain the beets thoroughly and fold them in shortly before serving rather than mixing them far ahead.
Not necessarily. Beet pickle with strained yogurt is fermented only if its beetroot was preserved by natural fermentation; vinegar-pickled beets are not fermented. Adding yogurt does not ferment the finished dish, so the method used for the beet matters.
Yes, you can make beet pickle with strained yogurt a few hours ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. The flavor settles as it rests, but the beet color will gradually spread through the yogurt.
Serve beet pickle with strained yogurt alongside grilled meat, kebabs, or a spread of cold appetizers. Its tangy, creamy texture also works with bread, but pair it with less salty dishes if the beet pickle is strongly brined.
Drain the beetroot very well and use thick strained yogurt to keep beet pickle with strained yogurt from becoming watery. Avoid pouring in pickle brine, and mix the ingredients close to serving time if the beets are especially juicy.
Yes, beet pickle with strained yogurt can be made without garlic; it will taste milder and let the beet’s sweet-sour flavor stand out. Fresh dill or a little black pepper can add savory flavor instead.
To soften the earthy taste in beet pickle with strained yogurt, use well-pickled beetroot and add a little lemon juice or vinegar if the mixture needs more brightness. Fresh dill also complements the beet without masking the yogurt.
