14 Savory Beetroot Dinner Recipes That Are So PRETTY on Your Plate

Beets are a genuine superfood, often included in juice cleanses. That’s because the dark red vegetable has two properties that help detoxify the liver: betaine, which eliminates the toxins, and pectin, which clears them from the body so they don’t recirculate. Lucky for us, beets are not only healthy but tasty too. They’re delicious in salads and as spiralized noodles, and their natural sweetness makes them a surprise ingredient in many healthy desserts. Here are 14 beetroot recipes so beautiful, you’ll *def* want to pin them ALL for upcoming dinners.
