This summer everyone is talking about Barbie and her movie. Everything is released in shades of pink and I personally like it a lot. Pink is one of my favorite colors and this very cool Barbie pasta has also become my favorite summer food.
One of the reasons I love this pasta so much is that its sauce is so easy to make. It requires no cooking and is also very very nutritious.
The basic ingredients to prepare it are: raw beets, cucumbers, garlic, lemon, dill, yogurt and olive oil. It reminds a bit of tzatziki, it's true, but it's really the easiest and most summery thing there is in a sauce.
Tips and Substitutions
If you are vegan, you can replace the yogurt with soy yogurt.
