Just toss it all together (the fresh dill and parsley are a must!) and you have an amazing, nourishing, and filling salad that’s refreshingly different.
I do like randomly trying new things–but often, it’s just one and done. The experiments are just to enjoy for the moment, but rarely on repeat (although when they are worth repeating, you definitely hear about it…like when it came to this Rainbow Quinoa Salad or our favorite Lemony Jalapenos).
This one was another keeper, and specifically became a Shalosh Seudos favorite for the summer and something I really craved. It’s filling and the flavor combination was just on point.
I do like anything with beets, but it was the fresh herbs that gave this that extra boost of goodness.
I’ve also packed this as lunch at the pool and had lots of tasters who all enjoyed it as well. It’s really a keeper! Plus, it’s super simple. Just toss it all together!

Looks amazing! Can’t wait to try! If I make it for Shalosh Seudos, would I dress it before Shabbos, or immediately before serving?
You can prepare most of the ingredients before Shabbos , just add the beets, avocado and dressing right before serving. Once dressed you can still enjoy it even the next day, but its much better when its freshly dressed so it doesng get soggy.
Looks like it would be good with feta too, yum! Thanks for sharing!
I’m allergic to chickpeas – is there any sub that would be just as good?
Any other beans like Cannellini Beans or Peas can work. You can also omit it completely and it will still work.
This salad was different & delicious! We really enjoyed it!
I skipped the tomatoes and swapped the oil in the dressing with lemon juice
A colorful dish is always something that attracts me.
Served this Sunday to raving reviews. Thanx so much!!!
Will it work without the beets? I’m not a beet person
The beets are a big component of this salad, but it should still be a nice mix without it – if you try it, let us know!
I made this wonderful recipe last shabbos. It was such a hit. I will make it again this shabbos. Thank you!
This salad is delicious made it last week and was enjoyed. Made it again this week but swapped out the parsley and dill for cilantro and was also enjoyed!
Looks delish! Can I sub fresh dill for dill weed? And if yes how much to put in?
So good!!
very nice!
delish!
How do you cook the beets?
You can use canned or prepared beets for this salad.
