Boil and peel the beets, then cut them into small cubes and combine with warm ingredients so the sauce does not split.
Cut the beet into 1.5 cm cubes and rest in a strainer for 2 minutes.
Whisk the yogurt with garlic and salt, then add the watery ingredients later so the yogurt does not split.
Fold the main ingredients with the sauce for 1 minute without crushing them, so the pieces stay intact.
Loosen the sumac with olive oil and drizzle it over the yogurt beet.
Transfer the salad to a serving plate and bring it to the table while the sauce is still glossy.
💡 Tip: Do not add the beet to the yogurt before it has cooled fully, or the meze can turn watery quickly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Spread the sumac yogurt beet in a shallow bowl and present it with olive oil and sumac visible on the surface.
