Pancar salatasi means beet salad or dip in Turkish, it’s like tzatziki ot tarator made with beets instead of cucumbers. I found these lovely candy & golden beets at the grocery store, so I made three different dips. They’re all naturally gorgeous in colour, you can make it with different colour beets for a pretty presentation or just make it with one, all are perfectly wonderful! …

We love this pasta salad, it’s the perfect side dish with your summer BBQ dinner or something to bring to a potluck, you may want to double the recipe if your taking it to a potluck.
I love to make this with the dried oregano that’s from my herb garden, it tastes so much better than the store bought. I just pick the oregano, allow it to fully dry and store them in a tight lid container.
I don’t really measure the amount of oil, if I feel the need, I add more. If your adding more oil and vinegar remember to season with oregano and garlic salt. …
