Beets have a sweet, earthy flavor and can be paired with a variety of ingredients to create delicious and well-balanced dishes. Here are a few ingredients that pair well with beets: ** Herbs: Fresh herbs and dried herbs like fresh dill, dried thyme, fresh basil, fresh parsley, fresh mint, and dried oregano go well with the earthiness of the beets. ** Cheeses: Beets with feta, or any creamy cheese (goat cheese, gorgonzola, etc.) like in this beet and feta cheese salad is a perfect marriage of flavors. ** Nuts: Crunchy nuts like walnuts, pine nuts or even almonds complements tender roasted beets well. ** Citrus: The bright acidity of citrus fruits like orange zest, a little lemon zest, or grapefruit slices cuts through the sweetness of the beets and adds freshness to the dish.
