In this colorful dish, sweet beets are zipped up with lime, yogurt, and garlic. If you only have Greek yogurt on hand, thin it down with a little water or milk; you’re looking for a sauce that’s thin enough to drizzle. You can use any kind of beets here. Red and candy cane beets are sweeter than yellow beets, but all work wonderfully well. Or use a combination for the most stunning presentation imaginable.
Ingredients
4 servings
Step 1
Remove any greens and scrub the beets under warm water.
Step 2
Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into the pressure cooker pot. Insert the steamer basket and put the 6 beets in the basket. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes. Release the pressure manually. Test the beets by piercing them with a fork; they should be tender. If not, cook on high pressure again for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, grate the zest off the lime and reserve it; then cut the lime into wedges.
Step 4
When the beets are tender, transfer them to a large bowl and let them cool until you’re comfortable handling them. Working quickly, skin the beets while they are still warm (they are harder to peel after they’ve entirely cooled down). You can use a paring knife to skin them, or rub the skins off with a paper towel.
Step 5
Cut the peeled beets into slices or wedges, and arrange them on a platter. Drizzle with olive oil, and then squeeze some of the fresh lime juice over them.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, and reserved lime zest. Drizzle the dressing over the beets and top with the dill, flaky sea salt, and lots of black pepper.

Back to TopEasy to make, pretty colors, and my annual holiday side dish. Never knew beets could be so yummy. I use extra dill- so good!

Very easy to prepare and delicious with the yogurt sauce on top. My family of four left little in the bowl, I would make this again.

Delicious. So easy to make and tastes great. I don't have an instant pot, so I wrapped the beets in foil and roasted in the oven until tender. Let them cool a bit, then peeled them. Takes much longer, but same great flavor.

Very easy and delicious. I used precooked beets and vegan yogurt and whipped this up in about 2 minutes. I didn’t even follow measurements just made 1 beet worth for myself but could see serving it at a summer party. Beautiful light and the lime really adds a lot.

I happened to have the cooked Costco (cryovac) beets and dill in the fridge and looked for a recipe with those ingredients. This was delicious and very easy because of the prepared beets. I usually use fresh beets in recipes which might be a bit better if they happen to be sweet. For my husband and I, I prefer the easy way. I made half the recipe for the dressing and it was enough.

I fixed this recipe tonight and enjoyed the combination of flavors. The one small gripe is that the lime juice seemed to be unevenly distributed. Next time, I'll just put the beets in a small bowl and stir as I'm adding the lime juice.
