Boil 3 unpeeled beets in water for 18 minutes.
Cool the beets, peel them, and dice them small.
Finely chop 1 cucumber and a quarter bunch of dill.
Mix the beets, cucumber, and dill with 2 cups kefir.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes so the tangy dairy flavor balances.
💡 Tip: Cooling the beets completely keeps the kefir color cleaner.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold, sprinkled with dill and with bread on the side.
