Ha! Didn’t even look at the recipe, just knew I would like it, because I love all things beet. I do have Pom molasses in the fridge too. Can’t wait to try @Rooster & thanks for sharing. Anything you’d do differently?
I’m thinking I may skip the yogurt and just make the beets.

Interesting idea @Rooster!
Thanks. Typical off the cuff pairing on what I had on hand and how can I make this work

Thanks. It was just a couple small portions of salmon. And beet greens which is always the focus

I made something based on rosolli, using sour cream instead of cream, and omitting the carrots. Tasty! I will make it again!
@MsBean this borscht with ginger was interesting https://www.theguardian.com/food/2020/sep/28/papushkas-borscht-by-olia-hercules
I’m thinking about trying to use up a jar of pickled beets in a borscht, to clear up room in the fridge.

I googled pickled beet borschts. The links look like typical home cooking blogger recipes that would be the same as what I cobble together.

I got some golden beets in my CSA box, and thought this make ahead strategy will work in my home

I saw some in our local grocery store on our last shopping trip. I will look for them again. I love beets, but hate dealing with the mess of the red ones. Thanks for sharing this.

This is a tasty beet preparation - I halved the recipe and served it at Thanksgiving a few years ago. It’s colorful and delicious

I’m surprised nobody’s mentioned my favorite thing to do with beets (or order them): patsaria me skordaliá, i.e. roasted or steamed red beets with supergarlicky potato dip.
I find beets work best when they have a salty counterpart - another favorite is sliced beets with feta, oregano & olive oil.

And by Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock!I wonder if it is in the cookbook I have.
Sending that one to Paprika!
@linguafood , I bought some Israeli feta just to go with.

Skordalia is a garlic dip (skordo) more than a potato dip. It can be made with potatoes or with bread. 
The bacala (bakaliaros) with beets and with skordalia is a trio that goes together during Lent and other days that Greeks fast.
There’s more potato/bread than garlic in the dip, though no? It’s not like toum. I prefer the potato version

Sure, but onion dip is also more sour cream-mayo than onion. Lol. The potato/bread is the vehicle for the garlic.
Another variation from the North.https://www.dianekochilas.com/giant-bean-skordalia-with-crunchy-spicy-nuts/
Thanks all! I used a bunch of your ideas and made this salad.
There were lettuces from the garden, some preserved lemons from last year, and some orange jamalade I made in the dressing.
Also Israeli feta, pistachios, s&p.
